- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint

Sand mastic in Oxshott, done properly
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it so the surround looks right again. We are often asked to deal with open joints round the window box and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, across tenement windows, sash and case windows and timber door frames.
Houses in smaller places like Oxshott can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about sand mastic in Oxshott
Is Oxshott in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Oxshott is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Oxshott?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned, then point it with sand mastic.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, including the tidy-up.

How the job changes by surface
Period and listed homes
Many older homes were built with sand mastic round the windows. If your home is listed, ask your local planning authority about consent.
Tenement and terrace windows
Tenements and terraces often have many sash windows with ageing mastic. We work on single windows or whole elevations.
Signs you need sand mastic in Oxshott
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time, depending on exposure and upkeep.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
In the older streets around St Andrew's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Decayed frames that need repair
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Brick reveals
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
- Stone surrounds
- Period & listed homes
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
Why act early in Oxshott
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Around Oxshott, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

What sand mastic looks like in Oxshott
With historic houses such as The Homewood (about 1.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Oxshott as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like The Royal Kent CofE Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Oxshott station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
