How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Benhilton. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How we handle sand mastic in Benhilton
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on sash and case windows, tenement windows and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Benhilton as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Broken panes
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Sash and case windows
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds
- Brick reveals
- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants do not always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Common problems we fix in Benhilton
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
Benhilton is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Windows and doors in Benhilton
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking. Historic houses like Nonsuch Mansion (about 1.9 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Benhilton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like All Saints Benhilton CofE Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around All Saints Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
