Sand mastic for sash & case windows in Jennett's Park, Bracknell Forest
We cover Jennett's Park for traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
About our sand mastic in Jennett's Park
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. We work on timber door frames, tenement windows and period & listed homes, and common reasons people get in touch are crumbling sand mastic round a window and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating.
Many houses in smaller places like Jennett's Park have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need sand mastic in Jennett's Park
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer does not hold well so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
Rented homes near Martins Heron station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Windows and doors in Jennett's Park
Bracknell, which Jennett's Park is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start. 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.
Schools such as Harmans Water Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Questions from Jennett's Park
I let a flat near Martins Heron station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do older homes in Jennett's Park need their sealant replacing?
If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s generally worth it. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure, and many homes in Jennett's Park may already be on their second or third set.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
It depends on the window. Period windows in stone or brick normally suit sand mastic and newer frames normally get a flexible sealant.
Do you cover Jennett's Park?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Jennett's Park.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish, but they decide.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. A visit to Jennett's Park is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
