Sand mastic for sash & case windows in Fulbrook, Oxfordshire
Traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick for householders, landlords and businesses in Fulbrook. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
What we’re called out for in Fulbrook
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. That movement opens up the mastic joint little by little.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
If you look after a building such as Burford Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Before you book anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- How much experience the applicator has
About our sand mastic in Fulbrook
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. If you are dealing with draughty sash windows at the surround and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, we can help.
Around Fulbrook, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Broken panes
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Sashes that need overhauling
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
How the job changes by surface
Period and listed homes
Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice for many period homes. On listed buildings, check with your planning authority first.
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the joint varies in width. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
What affects the cost of sand mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Sand mastic in Fulbrook: local notes
With historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (about 4.2 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fulbrook 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint James the Great, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Shipton station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a village or hamlet like Fulbrook, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
