Coleshill Sand Mastic
Our applicators work in Coleshill on traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
How we handle sand mastic in Coleshill
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. If you have silicone on a period window that looks wrong and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, we can put it right, on tenement windows, sash and case windows and stone surrounds alike.
Homes in small places like Coleshill often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Frames and glazing around Coleshill
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Chenies Manor House (about 4.6 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Coleshill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Amersham station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Managing a site like Coleshill Church of England Infant School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a village or hamlet like Coleshill, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Coleshill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Broken panes
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Brick reveals
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
- Timber door frames
- Stone surrounds
- Tenement windows
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
