Sand Mastic in Buckinghamshire

Sand mastic across Buckinghamshire: what to expect

For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. Typical jobs include open joints round the window box and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, across brick reveals, period & listed homes and tenement windows.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows.

1. We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
2. We remove the old, loose mastic.
3. Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
4. The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
5. We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.

How we quote for sand mastic

There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:

• Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
• Whether there’s mould to deal with
• The number and length of the joints
• Working hours on commercial sites

Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
