About our sand mastic in Padbury
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on brick reveals, timber door frames and tenement windows, and people most often call us about wind and rain getting in round a sash window and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows.
In a village or hamlet like Padbury, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Padbury needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

Surface by surface
Sash and case windows
Most of our sand mastic work is on sash windows. We renew the mastic round each box.
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. The finish blends with the masonry.
Common problems we fix in Padbury
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the cure time is
- What guarantee comes with the work
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What sand mastic looks like in Padbury
Historic houses like Claydon House (about 3.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Padbury 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. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Padbury Church of England School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
