Sand mastic in Wroxton, done properly
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. Common call-outs are for crumbling sand mastic round a window and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, across tenement windows, sash and case windows and period & listed homes.
Around Wroxton, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

Questions from Wroxton
Do you work for landlords with property near Banbury station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Wroxton?
Yes, Wroxton is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
We will help you decide. Period homes often look best with sand mastic and newer frames suit modern sealant.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It forms a skin fairly soon, then hardens over a longer period. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Make sure water runs off the sill
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
Why act early in Wroxton
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. Around Wroxton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How we quote for sand mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several for a typical job. In a small place like Wroxton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Sand mastic in Wroxton: local notes
Historic houses like Broughton Castle (about 2.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Wroxton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Wroxton Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Banbury station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Can I do it myself?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
