About our sand mastic in Tilford
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. We work on brick reveals, stone surrounds and tenement windows, and the jobs we see most are cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and mastic round period door frames that has failed.
Somewhere as small as Tilford, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Tilford and across Surrey.

Surface by surface
Sash and case windows
A sash window’s box frame sits in the masonry opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before the new mastic goes in.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Broken panes
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Brick reveals
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Around Tilford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sand mastic in Tilford: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Farnham Castle (about 3.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Tilford 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Waverley Abbey CofE Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Farnham station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Common problems we fix in Tilford
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint, which is a good time to renew it.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Tilford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
