Sand mastic in Titchfield Common
We work across Titchfield Common renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you are dealing with open joints round the window box and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, we can help, on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and stone surrounds alike.
Many houses in smaller places like Titchfield Common have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Titchfield Common
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
If you live in an older home near St John, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Questions from Titchfield Common
Is Titchfield Common within the area you cover?
Yes. Titchfield Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you guarantee sand mastic work?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What exactly is sand mastic?
Sand mastic is a traditional material for pointing round windows and doors. It combines sand with a linseed-oil-based binder.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes, we do this often. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic can sit properly.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like, but they decide.
What the job involves on each surface
Period and listed homes
Materials matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Like-for-like sand mastic is usually favoured.
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. We renew it the same way as on windows.
Sand mastic in Titchfield Common: local notes
Titchfield Common is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Swanwick station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
What happens if it’s left?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Homes in smaller places like Titchfield Common can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a job in Titchfield Common, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
