Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Woodlands
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and period & listed homes, and the jobs we see most are mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and draughty sash windows at the surround.
In a village or hamlet like Woodlands, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

Advice

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
Frames and glazing around Woodlands
London and the South East are among 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 look after a building such as Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Ashurst New Forest station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Woodlands questions
Is Woodlands within the area you cover?
Yes, Woodlands is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Ashurst New Forest station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How much does sand mastic cost in Woodlands?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes, we do this often. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic can sit properly.
Can I paint the new mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. If you are redecorating the window, ask us first and we will advise.
Why deal with it now?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. Around Woodlands, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
