Advice
Sand mastic in Ashtead, done properly
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We are often asked to deal with modern sealant on a period surround and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, across stone surrounds, tenement windows and period & listed homes.
Ashtead mixes older streets, where windows have often been replaced, with newer estates fitted with uPVC. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Period and listed homes
Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice for many period homes. On listed buildings, check with your planning authority first.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Timber that has rotted
- Sashes that need overhauling
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Ashtead homes and the weather
Historic houses like Fitznells Manor (about 3.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Ashtead has older buildings as well as new. 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near St George's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Parsons Mead School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
