Sand mastic in Salters Heath
We work across Salters Heath renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We work on brick reveals, timber door frames and period & listed homes, and people most often call us about old cement repairs round a window that have failed and draughty sash windows at the surround.
In a village or hamlet like Salters Heath, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Salters Heath, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Why deal with it now?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Salters Heath can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Signs you need sand mastic in Salters Heath

Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
Homes close to Pamber Priory include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
