Sand mastic in Lower Titmore Green
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We’re often asked to deal with modern sealant on a period surround and draughts and rain around sash boxes, on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and tenement windows.
Around Lower Titmore Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic won’t stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Titmore Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry so early renewal protects both.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Sand mastic in Lower Titmore Green: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts 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 Knebworth House (about 3.5 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lower Titmore Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Stevenage station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Common problems we fix in Lower Titmore Green
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They don’t suit the joint, and they normally need raking out.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
Managing a site like Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
