What sand mastic looks like in Lillingstone Lovell
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Stowe House (about 3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lillingstone Lovell as well as newer homes. 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.
In and around Lillingstone Lovell, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lillingstone Lovell
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home and on a listed home, consent may be needed. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lillingstone Lovell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Common questions in Lillingstone Lovell
What guarantee comes with sand mastic in Lillingstone Lovell?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Lillingstone Lovell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
That depends on your windows. Period windows in stone or brick usually suit sand mastic and newer frames generally get a flexible sealant.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, we do this often. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic can sit properly.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Timber that has rotted
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
