Sand mastic in Albury Heath, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. If you have cracked mastic round a front door frame and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, we can help.
Around Albury Heath, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Albury Heath and across Surrey.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.

Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish but the decision is theirs.

Is it messy?

What is sand mastic?
It’s the traditional filler for the joint round timber windows and doors. It combines sand with a linseed-oil-based binder.
Windows and doors in Albury Heath
Historic houses like Chilworth Manor (about 2.3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Albury Heath has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Shere CofE Aided Infant School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Old St Peter and St Paul's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
