Sand mastic in Tye, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. If you have modern sealant on a period surround and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can put it right, on sash and case windows, timber door frames and stone surrounds alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Tye is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Get any rot dealt with first
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.

Tye homes and the weather
Tye is within about 1 mile 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. Historic houses like Warblington Castle (about 2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Tye 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.
If you look after a building such as Mill Rythe Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Emsworth station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
Tye is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO11, we can carry out sand mastic at your property. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Tye is one of them.
We cover every part of the PO11 postcode area for sand mastic and the streets around it. You’ll find streets such as Gutner Lane and Copse Lane, all of which we cover. If you’re just outside Tye, we cover North Hayling (1 mile north), Northney (1 mile north), Stoke (1 mile west), Thorney Island (1 mile north-east) and Warblington (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north), Fareham (11 miles west), Horndean (7 miles north), Waterlooville (6 miles north-west) and Petersfield (13 miles north).
Near you in Tye
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Hayling College, Eames Farm and The Maypole pub and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Emsworth station, roughly 2.6 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Havant War Memorial Hospital (2.9 miles north-west) and Emsworth Museum (2.4 miles north). For a walk, there’s Hayling Billy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tye
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tye, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Tye needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in Tye
Is Tye within the area you cover?
Yes. Tye is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Tye affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How much does sand mastic cost in Tye?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
What exactly is sand mastic?
Sand plus a binder based on linseed oil. It’s applied by hand and finished to sit neatly against the masonry.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, sand mastic included.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It takes a while. It skins first and hardens fully later, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We can do one window or several.
Period and listed homes
Many older homes were built with sand mastic round the windows. If your home is listed, ask your local planning authority about consent.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Cracked or broken glass
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
