When to call us in Baker Street
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
Homes close to St Giles & All Saints Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
About our sand mastic in Baker Street
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 work on tenement windows, brick reveals and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic round period door frames that has failed and draughty sash windows at the surround.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Baker Street is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home and on a listed home, consent may be needed. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Older cottages and farmhouses around Baker Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What sand mastic looks like in Baker Street
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
