What happens if it’s left?
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. In a small place like Bucks Horn Oak, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Sand mastic in Bucks Horn Oak
We work across Bucks Horn Oak renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. Typical jobs include a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and open joints round the window box, across stone surrounds, tenement windows and period & listed homes.
Somewhere as small as Bucks Horn Oak, 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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need sand mastic in Bucks Horn Oak
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip on the stone or timber.
Look out for these signs:
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Open joints round the window box
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
If you live in an older home near Saint James, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Bucks Horn Oak homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Farnham Castle (about 3.9 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Bucks Horn Oak 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Period and listed homes
Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice for many period homes. If your home is listed, ask your local planning authority about consent.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Let us know the floor and we’ll confirm access.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Get any rot dealt with first
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
