Why act early in Weston Underwood
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. In a small place like Weston Underwood, 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 not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

About our sand mastic in Weston Underwood
We work across Weston Underwood renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We work on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and brick reveals, and people most often call us about failed mastic on an exposed elevation and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out.
Around Weston Underwood, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we are called out for in Weston Underwood
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and loosens it further. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Lawrence, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Weston Underwood needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry so early renewal protects both.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
