Brickendon Sand Mastic
We cover Brickendon for traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
How we handle sand mastic in Brickendon
Across Brickendon, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. Typical jobs include gaps where the frame meets the masonry and draughty sash windows at the surround, across brick reveals, period & listed homes and tenement windows.
In a village or hamlet like Brickendon, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Brickendon and across Hertfordshire.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Brickendon, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Broken panes
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
How the job changes by surface
Stone surrounds
Sand mastic sits naturally against stone. The finish blends with the masonry.
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours, so check who is responsible first.
Why deal with it now?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. Around Brickendon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Frames and glazing around Brickendon
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Bayford station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Homes close to Holy Cross & St Alban include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
