About our sand mastic in Alperton
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you’re dealing with silicone on a period window that looks wrong and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, we can help, on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows alike.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease usually says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Alperton is something to talk through when you book.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Alperton homes and the weather
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. Historic houses like Pitzhanger Manor (about 2.1 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Alperton 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alperton Community School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St James Church Alperton, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How we quote for sand mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Masonry that needs repairing
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Period & listed homes
- Brick reveals
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints for a typical job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Alperton
New mastic over crumbling mastic will not hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Alperton, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why Alperton customers choose us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Fully insured

FAQs for Alperton
Do you cover Alperton for sand mastic?
Yes, Alperton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Alperton?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
Sand mastic generally suits period timber windows best. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we’ll explain why.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes, it’s a common request. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic can sit properly.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours, so check who is responsible first.
Sash and case windows
A sash window’s box frame sits in the masonry opening. The gap round it is pointed with sand mastic.
Signs you need sand mastic in Alperton
Timber frames move with the seasons. The movement cracks the mastic over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Rented homes near Wembley Central station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
