Sand mastic in Bure Park

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Bure Park

Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties where a modern sealant bead would stand out. If you have cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, we can put it right, on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and tenement windows alike.

In a smaller place like Bure Park, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why deal with it now?

An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. Homes in smaller places like Bure Park can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

Bure Park homes and the weather

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

For an older house near a landmark such as Emmanuel Church Bicester, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Bure Park Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Bicester North station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Bure Park?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Do you guarantee sand mastic work?

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, sand mastic included.

Is there any odour?

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.

The process

On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. A visit to Bure Park is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. First we agree which joints need doing.
  2. We remove the old, loose mastic.
  3. We pack any deep voids first.
  4. The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
  5. We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Tell us about any water getting in

Ask for a quote

Advice

Should I try it myself first?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Different surfaces, different methods

Timber door frames

Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. The method is the same as for windows.

Stone surrounds

Sand mastic sits naturally against stone. The finish blends with the masonry.

How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
  • Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
  • Look over the window mastic once a year
  • Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone

Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.

Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
