DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Clanfield
We work across Clanfield renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you’re dealing with wind and rain getting in round a sash window and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, we can help, on stone surrounds, tenement windows and period & listed homes alike.
In a village or hamlet like Clanfield, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Windows and doors in Clanfield
With historic houses such as Kelmscott Manor (about 2.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Clanfield as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Clanfield CofE Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Stephen include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Masonry that needs repairing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.
