Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What exactly is sand mastic?

Why act early in Rout's Green
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants do not always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rout's Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Frames and glazing around Rout's Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as West Wycombe Park House (about 3.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rout's Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Saunderton station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Schools such as Bledlow Ridge School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Rout's Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
