How we handle sand mastic in Oakley
We work across Oakley renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We work on brick reveals, period & listed homes and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are crumbling sand mastic round a window and silicone on a period window that looks wrong.
Around Oakley, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Oakley as everywhere else we work.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Oakley: your questions answered
Do you cover Oakley for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Oakley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Oakley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
Sand mastic generally suits period timber windows best. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we’ll explain why.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. For a job in Oakley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Oakley can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. In an older home around Oakley, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Sand mastic in Oakley: local notes
Historic houses like Adwell House (about 3.2 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Oakley has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Mill Lane Community Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Princes Risborough station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
