About our sand mastic in Marsh Baldon
Across Marsh Baldon, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you have a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Marsh Baldon is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
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.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like Marsh Baldon, access is normally 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.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
What affects the quote in Marsh Baldon
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

Why it’s worth doing now in Marsh Baldon
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. Around Marsh Baldon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What sand mastic looks like in Marsh Baldon
With historic houses such as Garsington Manor (about 2.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Marsh Baldon as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Marsh Baldon Church of England Controlled School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
