Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Kiddington
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it, so ask us before you decorate. If you have mastic round period door frames that has failed and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, we can help, on timber door frames, period & listed homes and tenement windows alike.
Somewhere as small as Kiddington, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need sand mastic in Kiddington?
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and loosens it further. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Open joints round the window box
- Modern sealant on a period surround
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Timber that has rotted
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Damaged stone surrounds
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Brick reveals
Leave it or put it right?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. Around Kiddington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Kiddington customers choose us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Frames and glazing around Kiddington
With historic houses such as Blenheim Palace (about 4.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Kiddington as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

DIY versus a professional finish
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 biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
