Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Stambourne Green
Sand mastic does not last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. If you have gaps where the frame meets the masonry and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Stambourne Green is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Stambourne Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

It takes a while. It skins first and hardens fully later, and we will tell you what to expect.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What the job involves on each surface
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear and the mastic can crack early. It’s renewed by hand.
Sash and case windows
Sash windows are where we do most sand mastic work. Each joint round the box is raked out and renewed.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Avoid painting over the new mastic, which is the traditional advice. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
