Simpson Sand Mastic
Specialist sand mastic for Simpson: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
Why deal with it now?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Paint over cracked mastic will not stop the gaps and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Around Simpson, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs 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 work begins, so you know where you stand.

How we handle sand mastic in Simpson
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. If you have failed mastic on an exposed elevation and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Simpson, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Do you need sand mastic in Simpson?
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
If you let a flat or house near Bow Brickhill station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Advice
What sand mastic looks like in Simpson
With historic houses such as Bletchley Park (about 1.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Simpson as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St Thomas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Charles Warren Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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, then guaranteed for a year.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
