Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Upper Woolhampton
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place 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. If you have modern sealant on a period surround and window mastic to renew ahead of painting, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Upper Woolhampton, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Woolhampton
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upper Woolhampton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Surface by surface
Stone surrounds
Sand mastic sits naturally against stone. It finishes to look like part of the surround.
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside so we finish it carefully.

Questions from Upper Woolhampton
Is Upper Woolhampton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Midgham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It takes a while. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later, and we will tell you what to expect.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
Sand mastic generally suits period timber windows best. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we will explain why.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, sand mastic included.
Upper Woolhampton homes and the weather
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.
If you live in an older home near Douai Abbey Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Midgham station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re 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 we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Upper Woolhampton 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.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
