About our sand mastic in Tilford Reeds
Across Tilford Reeds, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. Common call-outs are for old cement repairs round a window that have failed and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, on period & listed homes, tenement windows and sash and case windows.
Homes in small places like Tilford Reeds often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Windows and doors in Tilford Reeds
Historic houses like Farnham Castle (about 3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Tilford Reeds has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

Surface by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair, so check who is responsible first.
Brick reveals
We rake out the old mastic and pack deep voids before pointing.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When to call us in Tilford Reeds
Some old mastic was never deep enough. A thin layer doesn’t hold well so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Why act early in Tilford Reeds
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In a small place like Tilford Reeds, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why Tilford Reeds clients choose us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Homes, businesses and hotels
