How we handle sand mastic in Bagshot
Across Bagshot, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We work on stone surrounds, timber door frames and period & listed homes, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic round period door frames that has failed and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint.
Many houses in smaller places like Bagshot have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Different surfaces, different methods
Period and listed homes
Materials matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Like-for-like sand mastic is generally favoured.
Tenement and terrace windows
Tenements and terraces often have many sash windows with ageing mastic. We work on single windows or whole elevations.
Common questions in Bagshot
Can you do sand mastic in Bagshot?
Yes, Bagshot is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Bagshot?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we will explain why.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a smaller place like Bagshot, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.

- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

DIY versus a professional finish
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’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

Do you need sand mastic in Bagshot?
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and loosens it further. Exposed elevations usually fail first.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
In the older streets around The Brook Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
