Sand mastic in Belvedere, done properly
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. We work on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and period & listed homes, and the jobs we see most are mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and patchy fillers round a sash window.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease normally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Belvedere is something to talk through when you book.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What sand mastic looks like in Belvedere
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking. 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.
Managing a site like Lessness Heath Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. As a London address, Belvedere can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What we are called out for in Belvedere
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They don’t move with the timber, and they usually need raking out.
Look out for these signs:
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
Letting a property close to Belvedere station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Belvedere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours, so check who is responsible first.
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In a London area like Belvedere, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
Can I do it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
