Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Hudnall Corner
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. We work on tenement windows, period & listed homes and timber door frames, and people most often call us about patchy fillers round a sash window and wind and rain getting in round a sash window.
Homes in small places like Hudnall Corner often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hudnall Corner as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Can I paint the new mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like, but they decide.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
A skin forms quite soon, but full hardening takes longer. We’ll explain what to expect before we leave.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home, and in listed buildings it may need consent. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. In a small place like Hudnall Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
