Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Hulcote
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. Common call-outs are for draughts and rain around sash boxes and modern sealant on a period surround, across stone surrounds, timber door frames and sash and case windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Hulcote is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Related advice
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. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Around Hulcote, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Frames and glazing around Hulcote
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Woburn Abbey (about 3.6 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Hulcote has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Ridgmont station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Common problems we fix in Hulcote
Age is the main cause. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
