Sand mastic for homes and businesses in West Meon
We work across West Meon renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. Typical jobs include window mastic to renew ahead of painting and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, across timber door frames, stone surrounds and period & listed homes.
Around West Meon, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in West Meon as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. In a small place like West Meon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job
- 20+ years of sealant experience
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as West Meon, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

West Meon homes and the weather
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 Hinton Ampner House (about 3.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around West Meon 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Evangelist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. In and around West Meon, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
