Sand mastic in Wigley
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. Common call-outs are for tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and modern sealant on a period surround, on timber door frames, stone surrounds and period & listed homes.
In a village or hamlet like Wigley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What sand mastic looks like in Wigley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Landford Manor (about 4.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wigley as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Totton station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. Around Wigley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common questions in Wigley
Can you do sand mastic in Wigley?

Is Wigley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What is sand mastic?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, used between timber frames and stone or brick.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
What does sand mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. For a village or hamlet like Wigley, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:

- Sashes that need overhauling
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
