Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Skittle Green
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. Common call-outs are for mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, on tenement windows, stone surrounds and brick reveals.
In a village or hamlet like Skittle Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Skittle Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Why deal with it now?
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Skittle Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
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 make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We quote each job on its own. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Cracked or broken glass
- Masonry that needs repairing
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Sash and case windows
- Tenement windows
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
Do you need sand mastic in Skittle Green?
Timber frames move with the seasons. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
If you look after a building such as Princes Risborough School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Yes, we do this often. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic beds in well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Your local planning authority is the one to ask. They’ll tell you if consent is needed for work to your windows.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.

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 the Holy Trinity, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
