Sand Mastic in West Town
Sand mastic across West Town and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
Sand mastic in West Town, done properly
Across West Town, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you have mastic dropping out of the joint and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, we can put it right, on brick reveals, stone surrounds and timber door frames alike.
In a smaller place like West Town, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

West Town: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fratton station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in West Town?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in West Town?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Parking around West Town is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Windows and doors in West Town
West Town is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Warblington Castle (about 3.9 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Town as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Mengham Infant School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around St Mary's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
West Town is about 1 mile west of South Hayling, in Hampshire. Whether you are in the middle of West Town or further out, sand mastic is available for homes and businesses alike. West Town is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for sand mastic.

What the job involves on each surface
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. The finish blends with the masonry.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked and the mastic can crack early. We rake it out and renew it.
Common problems we fix in West Town
Timber frames move with the seasons. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
If you let a flat or house near Fratton station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
