Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Winchfield Hurst
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we’ll explain which is best for yours. We are often asked to deal with mastic round period door frames that has failed and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, on brick reveals, timber door frames and tenement windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Winchfield Hurst is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Winchfield Hurst and across Hampshire.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber door frames

Can I paint the new mastic?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What sand mastic looks like in Winchfield Hurst
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Winchfield station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
