DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Wood Street Village
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. Common call-outs are for wind and rain getting in round a sash window and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, across sash and case windows, brick reveals and tenement windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Wood Street Village is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Wood Street Village and across Surrey.

FAQs for Wood Street Village
I let a flat near Wanborough station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Wood Street Village in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Wood Street Village is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I paint the new mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. If you’re redecorating the window, ask us first and we will talk you through it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned before the sand mastic goes in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When to call us in Wood Street Village

What sand mastic looks like in Wood Street Village
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Wanborough Manor (about 1.9 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Wood Street Village 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’s traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Alban's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Wood Street Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Wood Street Village is about 2 miles west of Guildford, in Surrey.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wood Street Village
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. Around Wood Street Village, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
