About our sand mastic in Steventon End
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we’ll explain which is best for yours. If you are dealing with failed mastic on an exposed elevation and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can put it right.
Around Steventon End, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why act early in Steventon End
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. In a small place like Steventon End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Steventon End, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- 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 mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
What affects the cost of sand mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
