Advice
About our sand mastic in Owlswick
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and is not always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. We work on brick reveals, sash and case windows and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic round period door frames that has failed and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Owlswick is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Decayed frames that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It skins over quickly but needs longer to fully harden.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
How we quote for sand mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

Why it’s worth doing now in Owlswick
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Around Owlswick, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
