Sand mastic for Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End homes and businesses
Do you need sand mastic in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End?
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows, which is a good time to renew it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead, and we will talk through which suits your home. Typical jobs include wind and rain getting in round a sash window and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, on brick reveals, period & listed homes and timber door frames.
Homes in small places like Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad, and renewing the mastic closes them. Around Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
