Advice
Sand mastic in Up Nately, done properly
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we will talk through which suits your home. If you’re dealing with tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Up Nately, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Windows and doors in Up Nately
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Robert May's School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Hook station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Signs you need sand mastic in Up Nately
Age is the main cause. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
Homes close to Church of St. Stephen include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
