How we handle sand mastic in Southcourt
Sand mastic does not last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. We work on timber door frames, period & listed homes and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows.
Houses in smaller places like Southcourt can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, depending on the amount of work. In a smaller place like Southcourt, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access

Frames and glazing around Southcourt
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Ashmead Combined School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of the Good Shepherd include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Common questions in Southcourt
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do sand mastic in Southcourt?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Southcourt is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How long does sand mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, 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 you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What does sand mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.

Why it’s worth doing now in Southcourt
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In a smaller place like Southcourt, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
