About our sand mastic in Baker's Wood
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you are dealing with old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, we can put it right.
Homes in small places like Baker's Wood often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Baker's Wood and across Buckinghamshire.

What sand mastic looks like in Baker's Wood
Historic houses like Ickenham Hall (about 3.4 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Baker's Wood has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Denham Village School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Denham Golf Club station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
In most cases. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned, then point it with sand mastic.
Can I paint the new mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we will talk you through it.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Baker's Wood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

Sash and case windows
Sash windows are where we do most sand mastic work. Each joint round the box is raked out and renewed.
Brick reveals
Brick reveals round timber windows are often pointed with sand mastic. It suits older brickwork.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
Why it’s worth doing now in Baker's Wood
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants do not always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Baker's Wood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Broken panes
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
