Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
How we handle sand mastic in Titchfield Park
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder and built up by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. We work on stone surrounds, timber door frames and brick reveals, and common reasons people get in touch are weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and modern sealant on a period surround.
Around Titchfield Park, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Titchfield Park, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- 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 mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Titchfield Park questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Swanwick station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Titchfield Park within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Ask us before decorating.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
It skins over fairly quickly but takes longer to harden fully. We will tell you what to expect for your job.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
When to call us in Titchfield Park
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows, which is a good time to renew it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Anthony's Catholic Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
Titchfield Park homes and the weather
Titchfield Park is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Swanwick station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Homes close to St John include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Landmarks near Titchfield Park
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Henry Cort Community College and Fishermans Arms. The nearest railway station is Swanwick station, roughly 1.3 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are St Andrew's Castle (3.3 miles west) and Fareham Shopping Centre (3 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Swanwick Lakes.
Why act early in Titchfield Park
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. Around Titchfield Park, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. The method is the same as for windows.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
