What happens if it’s left?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Homes in smaller places like Banstead can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

How we handle sand mastic in Banstead
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We work on stone surrounds, period & listed homes and sash and case windows, and people most often call us about draughts and rain around sash boxes and gaps round a timber door in stone or brick.
Homes around Banstead range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Damaged stone surrounds

Quotes for sand mastic in Banstead
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a job in Banstead, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Banstead
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Frames and glazing around Banstead
With historic houses such as Nonsuch Mansion (about 2.7 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Banstead as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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 St Anne's Catholic Primary 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 Church of All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Banstead station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
It forms a skin fairly soon, then hardens over a longer period. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
Can sand mastic be painted?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we will talk you through it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
