For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How we handle sand mastic in Hungerford Green
Across Hungerford Green, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We work on brick reveals, tenement windows and period & listed homes, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and mastic round period door frames that has failed.
Somewhere as small as Hungerford Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Hungerford Green homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Basildon Park (about 3.4 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Hungerford Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Goring & Streatley station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Do you need sand mastic in Hungerford Green?
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
Schools such as The Downs School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. The method is the same as for windows.
Brick reveals
Gaps between frame and brick let in rain and draughts. Renewing the mastic closes it.

Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish but the decision is theirs.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
In most cases. We remove the silicone and clean the joint, then point it with sand mastic.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
