DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
About our sand mastic in Furzton
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. We work on timber door frames, period & listed homes and stone surrounds, and the jobs we see most are a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and crumbling sand mastic round a window.
Around Furzton, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Frames and glazing around Furzton
Historic houses like Bletchley Park (about 1.1 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Furzton has older buildings as well as new. 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.
Schools such as Barleyhurst Park Primary are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of the Servant King, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish, but they decide.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. We will tell you when we quote.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a job in Furzton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Leave it or put it right?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Around Furzton, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
