About our sand mastic in Sperberry Hill
Across Sperberry Hill, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We are often asked to deal with draughty sash windows at the surround and cracked mastic round a front door frame, across period & listed homes, tenement windows and brick reveals.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Sperberry Hill is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Sperberry Hill
Is Sperberry Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do sand mastic in Sperberry Hill?
Yes, Sperberry Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Checking first is sensible. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes. We remove the silicone and clean the joint, then point it with sand mastic.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Sperberry Hill and the rest of Hertfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It gives a traditional finish.
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. We renew it the same way as on windows.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Sperberry Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

When to call us in Sperberry Hill
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
Homes close to Church of St Ippolyts (church of England) include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

What sand mastic looks like in Sperberry Hill
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Knebworth House (about 4.1 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Sperberry Hill has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Hitchin station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. If you look after a building such as St Ippolyts Church of England Aided Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
