How we handle sand mastic in Wick
We work across Wick renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. Common call-outs are for window mastic to renew ahead of painting and cracked mastic round a front door frame, across tenement windows, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
Many houses in smaller places like Wick have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. If you are redecorating, ask us first.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.

Why act early in Wick
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. In an older home around Wick, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

FAQs for Wick
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Wick?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Do you work for landlords with property near Littlehampton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What is sand mastic?
It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder. It’s applied by hand and shaped to suit the surround.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What does sand mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Do you work in Wick?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What sand mastic looks like in Wick
Wick is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Ecclesden Manor (about 3.5 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Wick has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Lyminster Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Littlehampton station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Homes close to All Saints include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We can do one window or several.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Parking around Wick is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
