Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Bellingdon
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. If you have weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Bellingdon, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Bellingdon, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What sand mastic looks like in Bellingdon
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Cholesbury Manor House (about 1.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Bellingdon has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Hawridge and Cholesbury Church of England School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near St John's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why act early in Bellingdon
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bellingdon can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Most of our sand mastic work is on sash windows. Each joint round the box is raked out and renewed.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
