Sand mastic in Upper Eashing, done properly
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. If you’re dealing with mastic round period door frames that has failed and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, we can help, on stone surrounds, period & listed homes and timber door frames alike.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Eashing, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.

Common questions in Upper Eashing
Do you cover Upper Eashing for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Upper Eashing is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Upper Eashing?
Yes, Upper Eashing is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. Ask us before you decorate around it and we will advise.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
When will the new mastic be hard?
The surface skins quite quickly, then hardens over a longer period. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Why act early in Upper Eashing
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. Around Upper Eashing, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Sand mastic in Upper Eashing: local notes
With historic houses such as Loseley Park (about 2.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Eashing as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Godalming station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
