About our sand mastic in Mayford
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. If you have failed mastic on an exposed elevation and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Mayford, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What else we do in Mayford
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Timber that has rotted
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What sand mastic looks like in Mayford
Historic houses like Clandon Park (about 4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Mayford has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Westfield Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Worplesdon station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Your questions about sand mastic in Mayford
Is Mayford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do sand mastic in Mayford?
Yes, Mayford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. If you are redecorating the window, ask us first and we will talk you through it.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we will explain why.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It takes a while. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later and we will give you an idea for your job.
What’s sand mastic made of?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Common problems we fix in Mayford
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint, which is a good time to renew it.
Look out for these signs:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
If you live in an older home near St Mark's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Mayford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
