How we handle sand mastic in Letchmore Heath
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows, and the jobs we see most are silicone on a period window that looks wrong and gaps where the frame meets the masonry.
Homes in small places like Letchmore Heath often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Frames and glazing around Letchmore Heath
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. With historic houses such as High Elms Manor (about 3.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Letchmore Heath 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.
For landlords with property near Radlett station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Schools such as Fair Field Junior School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Broken panes
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Stone surrounds

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like Letchmore Heath, 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.
- The loose and crumbling 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 mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
