Our sand mastic service in Bracknell Forest
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. Common call-outs are for cracked mastic round a front door frame and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, on brick reveals, stone surrounds and period & listed homes.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
What affects the price in Bracknell Forest
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We never seal over old sealant
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Sand mastic across Bracknell Forest: local notes
From Bracknell, Sandhurst and Wick Hill to its smaller places, Bracknell Forest has windows and doors of every age and material. The mastic around all of them ages, and it’s normally the first thing to let the weather in.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in Bracknell Forest, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
Bracknell: If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Surface by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Let us know the floor and we’ll confirm access.
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It suits older brickwork.
Why act early?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work

What affects the quote in Bracknell Forest
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
Every job is quoted individually. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.

Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Bracknell Forest.

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
