Sand mastic in Ufton Green, done properly
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and is not always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. Common call-outs are for modern sealant on a period surround and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, on tenement windows, period & listed homes and brick reveals.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Ufton Green is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Ufton Green and across West Berkshire.

Sand mastic in Ufton Green: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show, so a neat, even finish matters.
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We can do one window or several.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Ufton Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
