About our sand mastic in Fyfield
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on period & listed homes, tenement windows and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the frame meets the masonry and modern sealant on a period surround.
Around Fyfield, 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 as standard.

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.
Rented homes near Grateley station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we are called out for in Fyfield
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Open joints round the window box
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Before you book anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Broken panes
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fyfield
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. In a small place like Fyfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Fyfield, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
