How we handle sand mastic in Hedgerley
Across Hedgerley, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We are often asked to deal with mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, across brick reveals, tenement windows and period & listed homes.
Around Hedgerley, 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, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Common questions in Hedgerley
Do you cover Hedgerley for sand mastic?
Yes, Hedgerley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Gerrards Cross station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Usually, yes. Once the silicone is out and the joint prepared, sand mastic is applied by hand.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Hedgerley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours, so check who is responsible first.
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Frames and glazing around Hedgerley
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Cliveden (about 3.8 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Hedgerley 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.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Farnham Common Junior School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Gerrards Cross station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
Why deal with it now?
New sash windows are a major, costly change, and in listed buildings it may need consent. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Around Hedgerley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
