Windows and doors in Brackenbury Village
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Brackenbury Village is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Homes close to Church of the Holy Innocents include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Brackenbury Village
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon but full hardening takes longer. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it, so ask us before you decorate. Typical jobs include mastic round period door frames that has failed and open joints round the window box, across sash and case windows, timber door frames and period & listed homes.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Brackenbury Village and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Brackenbury Village
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip on the stone or timber.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
If you look after a building such as Brackenbury Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Can you do sand mastic in Brackenbury Village?

Do you guarantee sand mastic work?

Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?

Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, we do this often. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic can sit properly.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick reveals
Brick reveals round timber windows are often pointed with sand mastic. It suits older brickwork.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked and the mastic can crack early. We rake it out and renew it.
Why act early in Brackenbury Village
New sash windows are a major, costly change, and in listed buildings it may need consent. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Brackenbury Village, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Brackenbury Village
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In Brackenbury Village, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
