Wootton homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Acrise Place (about 3.3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wootton as well as newer homes. 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Martin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How we handle sand mastic in Wootton
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. We are often asked to deal with weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and open joints round the window box, across stone surrounds, period & listed homes and timber door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Wootton, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Wootton as everywhere else we work.

How we quote for sand mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before

Leave it or put it right?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. Around Wootton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Do you need sand mastic in Wootton?
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and loosens it further. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
Look out for these signs:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
If you let a flat or house near Shepherds Well station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Wootton needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
