Sand Mastic in Warborne
Problem with your window and door surrounds in Warborne? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
When to call us in Warborne
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and loosens it further. Exposed elevations generally fail first.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Open joints round the window box
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
If you let a flat or house near Lymington Town station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Sand mastic in Warborne
We work across Warborne renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. Common call-outs are for crumbling sand mastic round a window and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, across period & listed homes, brick reveals and sash and case windows.
Around Warborne, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Warborne

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Warborne
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds
- Brick reveals
- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes
- Sash and case windows
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like Warborne, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Common questions in Warborne
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lymington Town station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Warborne?
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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can sand mastic be painted?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Period and listed homes
On a listed home or in a conservation area, the right material matters. Like-for-like sand mastic is normally favoured.
Brick reveals
An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. New mastic seals the gap.
Leave it or put it right?
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new work lasts. Around Warborne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We never seal over old sealant
- Full insurance on every job
- Over 20 years’ experience
Sand mastic in Warborne: local notes
Warborne is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House (about 4.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Warborne as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Southlands School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Nicholas Chapel, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
