Frames and glazing around Newington
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. With historic houses such as Garsington Manor (about 3.6 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Newington as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Giles, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How we handle sand mastic in Newington
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We’re often asked to deal with cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, on brick reveals, sash and case windows and tenement windows.
In a village or hamlet like Newington, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Newington and across Oxfordshire.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like Newington, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

When to call us in Newington
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer doesn’t hold well, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
Around Newington, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Why deal with it now?
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. In a small place like Newington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long does sand mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What’s sand mastic made of?
It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder. It’s applied by hand and finished to sit neatly against the masonry.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Newington.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
