Sand mastic in Eddington, done properly
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. Common call-outs are for window mastic to renew ahead of painting and crumbling sand mastic round a window, across brick reveals, stone surrounds and timber door frames.
Somewhere as small as Eddington, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Eddington and across West Berkshire.

Signs you need sand mastic in Eddington
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Open joints round the window box
If you let a flat or house near Hungerford station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Frames and glazing around Eddington
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 Hungerford Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Hungerford Methodist Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
