Sand mastic for sash & case windows in Kiln Green, Wokingham

- Patchy fillers round a sash window
How we handle sand mastic in Kiln Green
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead and we’ll explain which is best for yours. If you have a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, we can put it right, on timber door frames, stone surrounds and sash and case windows alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Kiln Green is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.
Why deal with it now?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kiln Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a small place like Kiln Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in

Frames and glazing around Kiln Green
Historic houses like Harleyford Manor (about 3.8 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Kiln Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Saint Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Open joints round the window box
Rented homes near Wargrave station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
