How we handle sand mastic in Banbury
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames generally get a flexible sealant instead, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. We work on brick reveals, sash and case windows and tenement windows, and people most often call us about mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and window mastic to renew ahead of painting.
In a town like Banbury, older houses sit alongside newer estates, with windows of every age. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Leave the new mastic unpainted, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
Surface by surface
Stone surrounds
Sand mastic sits naturally against stone. It finishes to look like part of the surround.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Let us know the floor and we will confirm access.
Landlord and commercial work in Banbury
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, 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.

Why deal with it now?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In Banbury, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common problems we fix in Banbury
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint, which is a good time to renew it.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
Schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Banbury homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Broughton Castle (about 2.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Banbury as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Banbury 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 Saint Paul's, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
