Different surfaces, different methods
Period and listed homes
Materials matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Sand mastic is often the preferred finish.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
What happens if it’s left?
New sash windows are a major, costly change, and in listed buildings it may need consent. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. In an older home around Lands of Tour and Kirkland, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
A skin forms quite soon, but full hardening takes longer. We will explain what to expect before we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
That depends on your windows. Period windows in stone or brick generally suit sand mastic, while modern frames normally get a flexible sealant.
