What affects the cost of sand mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
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, so you know where you stand.

Sand mastic in Avon Castle, done properly
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We work on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and brick reveals, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic round period door frames that has failed and window mastic to renew ahead of painting.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Avon Castle is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Cracked or broken glass
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Avon Castle
- Brick reveals
- Tenement windows
- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes
- Sash and case windows
- Stone surrounds
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. In a small place like Avon Castle, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Avon Castle
Do you cover Avon Castle for sand mastic?
Yes, Avon Castle is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Avon Castle?
Yes, Avon Castle 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 there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
When will the new mastic be hard?
Not right away. It skins first and hardens fully later and we’ll give you an idea for your job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What we’re called out for in Avon Castle
Some old mastic was never deep enough. A thin layer does not hold well, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
Historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House, about 3.5 miles south-east, show how far back building around Avon Castle goes.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Avon Castle, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Leave the new mastic unpainted, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Frames and glazing around Avon Castle
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House (about 3.5 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Avon Castle as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
