Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Milton Keynes
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and does not suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. If you have mastic round period door frames that has failed and draughty sash windows at the surround, we can help.
With a large rental market, Milton Keynes has plenty of windows that landlords need to keep weathertight. Gaps around a frame let in draughts and water, and tenants notice.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Windows and doors in Milton Keynes
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. Milton Keynes is one of the post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in.
Rented homes near Milton Keynes Central station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. In the older streets around Church of Christ the Cornerstone, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Summerfield School?

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
