Sand Mastic in Wyatt's Green
Window and door surrounds in Wyatt's Green need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.

Sand mastic in Wyatt's Green
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. We’re often asked to deal with mastic dropping out of the joint and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, across stone surrounds, sash and case windows and tenement windows.
Somewhere as small as Wyatt's Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Whether work needs listed building consent
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Wyatt's Green homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Ingatestone Hall (about 3.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wyatt's Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Doddinghurst Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Shenfield station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Your questions about sand mastic in Wyatt's Green
Is Wyatt's Green in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wyatt's Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shenfield station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
We will help you decide. Sand mastic suits many period homes, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
When will the new mastic be hard?
Not straight away. It skins first and hardens fully later, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. If you’re redecorating the window, ask us first and we will talk you through it.

What else we do in Wyatt's Green
Why deal with it now?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wyatt's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Surface by surface
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. The finish blends with the masonry.
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair, so check who is responsible first.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
