How the job changes by surface
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It suits older brickwork.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
Sand mastic in Walton
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it and we will advise if you are redecorating. We work on brick reveals, tenement windows and timber door frames, and people most often call us about weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Walton is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
FAQs for Walton
Will you come out to Walton?
Yes. Walton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Walton for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Walton is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Masonry that needs repairing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Walton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- 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.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Frames and glazing around Walton
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Aylesbury High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Holy Trinity, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Signs you need sand mastic in Walton
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They don’t suit the joint and we normally remove them.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Open joints round the window box
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
Letting a property close to Aylesbury station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
