Sand Mastic in Long Wittenham

For landlords and businesses

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Frames and glazing around Long Wittenham

Historic houses like Clifton Hampden Manor (about 1.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Long Wittenham has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Letting a property close to Appleford station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Schools such as Long Wittenham (Church of England) Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why act early in Long Wittenham

An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. Older cottages and farmhouses around Long Wittenham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Should I try it myself first?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
