Sand mastic in Wolverton
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames usually get a flexible sealant instead, and we will talk through which suits your home. We work on brick reveals, period & listed homes and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are failed mastic on an exposed elevation and open joints round the window box.
Somewhere as small as Wolverton, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Wolverton and everywhere else we cover.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.

What else we do in Wolverton
What sand mastic looks like in Wolverton
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Catherine, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What the job involves on each surface
Stone surrounds
We take care not to mark the stone while raking out the old mastic.
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear, so their mastic can fail sooner. We rake it out and renew it.
What affects the quote in Wolverton
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- How much there is to do
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

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.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
We’ll help you decide. Period homes often look best with sand mastic, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
