Sand mastic in Tudeley Hale
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. Common call-outs are for crumbling sand mastic round a window and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, on tenement windows, timber door frames and brick reveals.
In a village or hamlet like Tudeley Hale, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

Frames and glazing around Tudeley Hale
Historic houses like Old Soar Manor (about 5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Tudeley Hale has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as The Schools at Somerhill, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Tudeley Hale, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
