About our sand mastic in Wittensford
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on period & listed homes, brick reveals and timber door frames, and people most often call us about cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and silicone on a period window that looks wrong.
In a village or hamlet like Wittensford, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere as small as Wittensford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- 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
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Sand mastic in Wittensford: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
