Sand mastic in West Hanney
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. We are often asked to deal with weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and mastic round period door frames that has failed, on sash and case windows, tenement windows and period & listed homes.
In a village or hamlet like West Hanney, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Frames and glazing around West Hanney
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. Historic houses like Longworth House (about 4.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around West Hanney has older buildings as well as new. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St James Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

What else we do in West Hanney
What we are called out for in West Hanney
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They do not suit the joint and we normally remove them.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Modern sealant on a period surround
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- Are they insured?
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. In a small place like West Hanney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Quotes for sand mastic in West Hanney
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like West Hanney needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
