How we handle sand mastic in Barford St Michael
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We work on tenement windows, stone surrounds and timber door frames, and the jobs we see most are draughts and rain around sash boxes and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out.
In a village or hamlet like Barford St Michael, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Surface by surface
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. The method is the same as for windows.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Let us know the floor and we’ll confirm access.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Your questions about sand mastic in Barford St Michael

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What does sand mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
In most cases. We remove the silicone and clean the joint, then point it with sand mastic.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Barford St Michael, 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.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose 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.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Leave it or put it right?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. Around Barford St Michael, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
