Sand mastic in Holt Pound, done properly
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder and built up by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. We work on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and brick reveals, and common reasons people get in touch are patchy fillers round a sash window and draughts and rain around sash boxes.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Holt Pound is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Why act early in Holt Pound
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. Older cottages and farmhouses around Holt Pound can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
