Leave it or put it right?
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. In Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

- A 12-month guarantee on all work

How we handle sand mastic in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it and we’ll advise if you’re redecorating. If you’re dealing with gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Plenty of homes in a town like Bletchley and Fenny Stratford have had conservatories, patio doors or new windows added over the years. Each one adds more joints to look after, and those joints age at different rates. Leaks usually start at a sill, a frame head or a glazing joint.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the gap is not the same all the way round. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
Tenement and terrace windows
Upper-floor windows need access planning. Tell us the height and we will confirm what’s needed.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Windows and doors in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Historic houses like Bletchley Park (about 0.7 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Bletchley and Fenny Stratford 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.
For landlords with property near Bletchley station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you look after a building such as Knowles Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Water Eaton Church Centre, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
