Frames and glazing around Wells-in-the-Field
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whitchurch Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Homes close to St Nicholas' Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How we handle sand mastic in Wells-in-the-Field
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we’ll advise if you are redecorating. We work on stone surrounds, tenement windows and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked mastic round a front door frame and crumbling sand mastic round a window.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Wells-in-the-Field is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we’ll explain why.
When will the new mastic be hard?
The surface skins quite quickly, then hardens over a longer period. The weather and joint depth both affect it.

How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

Sash windows are where we do most sand mastic work. Each joint round the box is raked out and renewed.
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before pointing.
Leave it or put it right?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wells-in-the-Field can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
