Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Tubney
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. If you are dealing with cracked mastic round a front door frame and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, we can put it right.
Homes in small places like Tubney often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Common problems we fix in Tubney
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint, which is a good time to renew it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
Homes close to Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Tubney, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.

What sand mastic looks like in Tubney
With historic houses such as Appleton Manor (about 1.6 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tubney as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Abingdon Preparatory School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
