Sand Mastic in Badger Farm
Window and door surrounds in Badger Farm need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly but needs longer to fully harden.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
Sand mastic in Badger Farm
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. We’re often asked to deal with mastic dropping out of the joint and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, across tenement windows, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
In a smaller place like Badger Farm, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Badger Farm
Can you do sand mastic in Badger Farm?
Yes, Badger Farm is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Winchester station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
We will talk it through with you. Period homes often look best with sand mastic and newer frames suit modern sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
In most cases. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned before the sand mastic goes in.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Checking first is sensible. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Why deal with it now?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. Homes in smaller places like Badger Farm can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a job in Badger Farm, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

What sand mastic looks like in Badger Farm
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Saint Luke, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Stanmore Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
