Titchfield Sand Mastic
Problem with your window and door surrounds in Titchfield? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
Sand mastic in Titchfield, done properly
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We work on sash and case windows, brick reveals and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick.
In a village or hamlet like Titchfield, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What sand mastic looks like in Titchfield
Titchfield is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Titchfield Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Titchfield
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Older cottages and farmhouses around Titchfield can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
Rented homes near Fareham station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

FAQs for Titchfield
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Titchfield?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
I let a flat near Fareham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like, but they decide.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes, it’s a common request. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic can sit properly.
What exactly is sand mastic?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
