About our sand mastic in Nutfield
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. We work on brick reveals, period & listed homes and tenement windows, and the jobs we see most are draughts and rain around sash boxes and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out.
Around Nutfield, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry so early renewal protects both.

Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Talk to us before any painting near it.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. The method is the same as for windows.
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside, so a neat, even finish matters.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Nutfield, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Open joints round the window box

Should I try it myself first?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
