Sand mastic in Gibraltar
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. We’re often asked to deal with draughty sash windows at the surround and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, across timber door frames, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Gibraltar is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Do you need sand mastic in Gibraltar?
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
If you let a flat or house near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

What else we do in Gibraltar
What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show so we finish it carefully.
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. The method is the same as for windows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gibraltar
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. In a small place like Gibraltar, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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.

Questions from Gibraltar
Do you work for landlords with property near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Gibraltar?
Yes. Gibraltar is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Gibraltar?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Gibraltar, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sand mastic in Gibraltar: local notes
Historic houses like Waddesdon Manor (about 3.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Gibraltar has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of Saints Peter and Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
