Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Waddesdon
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we’ll explain which is best for yours. Common call-outs are for window mastic to renew ahead of painting and mastic round period door frames that has failed, across brick reveals, stone surrounds and tenement windows.
Homes in small places like Waddesdon 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It takes a while. It skins first and hardens fully later, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
That depends on your windows. Period windows in stone or brick usually suit sand mastic and newer frames generally get a flexible sealant.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
In most cases. We remove the silicone and clean the joint before the sand mastic goes in.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

Why deal with it now?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Around Waddesdon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
