Sand mastic in Upper Enham
Across Upper Enham, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you are dealing with old cement repairs round a window that have failed and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Upper Enham, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints from start to finish. Somewhere like Upper Enham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- 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.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like, but they decide.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Yes, it’s a common request. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic can sit properly.
