Front doors take the weather head on. Those corners get the most care.
About our window mastic in Sandy Cross
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We work on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are hard, cracked sealant around windows and rushed sealant from a window installation.
Homes in small places like Sandy Cross often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

Windows and doors in Sandy Cross
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Farnham Castle (about 3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Sandy Cross 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 is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Laurence, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Aldershot station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like St Paul's CofE Infant School & Nursery? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Sandy Cross is about 2 miles south-east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Sandy Cross gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What else we do in Sandy Cross
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Sandy Cross
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aldershot station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Sandy Cross?
Yes, Sandy Cross is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Silicone is not paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you’re decorating and we will choose accordingly.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Leave it or put it right?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Sandy Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What affects the quote in Sandy Cross
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- The type of property
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Sandy Cross

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Sandy Cross, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
