Sand mastic in Pinewood Village
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We work on timber door frames, sash and case windows and period & listed homes, and common reasons people get in touch are tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and old cement repairs round a window that have failed.
Homes around Pinewood Village range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Pinewood Village
Windows and doors in Pinewood Village
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Bentley (Hampshire) station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you live in an older home near St Mark's Sacred Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Parking around Pinewood Village is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Do you need sand mastic in Pinewood Village?
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
If you look after a building such as Bordon Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

- Whether the sealant suits the joint

How we quote for sand mastic
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
Your questions about sand mastic in Pinewood Village
Is Pinewood Village in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Pinewood Village is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
It depends on the window. Period windows in stone or brick usually suit sand mastic and newer frames generally get a flexible sealant.
Can sand mastic be painted?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Why act early in Pinewood Village
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. Homes in smaller places like Pinewood Village can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
