Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Weddington
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. We work on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and brick reveals, and people most often call us about mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and open joints round the window box.
In a village or hamlet like Weddington, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

What sand mastic looks like in Weddington
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Weddington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Sandwich station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Gaps between frame and brick let in rain and draughts. Renewing the mastic closes it.
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Weddington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Cracked or broken glass
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window

Leave it or put it right?
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. In a small place like Weddington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
