Frames and glazing around Middle Barton
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Heyford station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Homes close to Church of St Edward the Confessor include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Sand mastic in Middle Barton, done properly
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time, leaving gaps round the window. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. If you have failed mastic on an exposed elevation and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, we can put it right, on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and timber door frames alike.
Homes in small places like Middle Barton often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Signs you need sand mastic in Middle Barton
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
Managing a site like Middle Barton Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Middle Barton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Middle Barton: your questions answered

Yes, Middle Barton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned, then point it with sand mastic.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Where do you work from?

Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll advise.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. If you’re redecorating, ask us first.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Period & listed homes
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Tenement windows
- Timber door frames
- Stone surrounds
What happens if it’s left?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. Around Middle Barton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
