Leave it or put it right?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Goathurst Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
