About our sand mastic in Wallingford
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we will talk through which suits your home. We work on brick reveals, timber door frames and sash and case windows, and people most often call us about draughty sash windows at the surround and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick.
Around Wallingford, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Surface by surface
Period and listed homes
A traditional finish suits a period property, and sand mastic is one of them.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Tell us the height and we will confirm what’s needed.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Broken panes
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tenement windows

- Timber door frames
Do you need sand mastic in Wallingford?
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer doesn’t hold well, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
In the older streets around St Mary-le-More, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. If you’re redecorating, ask us first.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
Sand mastic in Wallingford: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Brightwell Manor (about 1.7 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Wallingford has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Cholsey station? Then 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 Fir Tree Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, depending on the amount of work. In a smaller place like Wallingford, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
