The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. A visit to Old Wolverton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

What sand mastic looks like in Old Wolverton
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. Historic houses like Linford Manor (about 2.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Old Wolverton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wyvern School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Wolverton station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are 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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Wolverton
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
For anyone letting property in or around Old Wolverton, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
What happens if it’s left?
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. Around Old Wolverton, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
