Sand mastic in Buckland, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. If you have open joints round the window box and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Buckland, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Frames and glazing around Buckland
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Betchworth station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Managing a site like Reigate College? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It gives a traditional finish.
Period and listed homes
Many older homes were built with sand mastic round the windows. On listed buildings, check with your planning authority first.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
What affects the quote in Buckland
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Buckland, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- 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.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Signs you need sand mastic in Buckland
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Buckland questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Betchworth station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Buckland?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
