Sand mastic in Walter's Ash, done properly
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. We work on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are draughty sash windows at the surround and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out.
Homes in small places like Walter's Ash often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How long does sand mastic take to go off?
Not right away. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later and we will give you an idea for your job.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
In most cases. We remove the silicone and clean the joint, then point it with sand mastic.

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Brick reveals round timber windows are often pointed with sand mastic. It gives a traditional finish.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Tell us the height and we will confirm what’s needed.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Get any rot dealt with first
Avoid painting over the new mastic, which is the traditional advice. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.

You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Walter's Ash, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose 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
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Walter's Ash homes and the weather
The South East is one of 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 Hughenden Manor (about 2.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Walter's Ash has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Botolph, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Managing a site like Naphill and Walters Ash School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What else we do in Walter's Ash
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. In a small place like Walter's Ash, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
