What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

  • Masonry that needs repairing
  • Timber that has rotted
  • Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Period & listed homes
  • Brick reveals
  • Timber door frames
  • Sash and case windows
  • Stone surrounds
  • Tenement windows

What the job involves on each surface

Stone surrounds

Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the gap is not the same all the way round. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.

Sash and case windows

On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside, so a neat, even finish matters.

Do you need sand mastic in Nash?

Some old mastic was never deep enough. Mastic that is too thin cracks and drops out, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.

Common reasons people contact us include:

  • Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
  • Draughts and rain around sash boxes
  • Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
  • Mastic round period door frames that has failed

Rented homes near Milton Keynes Central station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

How long does the job take?

What do you put in the joint?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

How the visit works

You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Nash, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
  2. We remove the old, loose mastic.
  3. Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
  4. The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
  5. We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Can I do it myself?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
