Landlord and commercial work in Bradley
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Sand mastic in Bradley, done properly
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. Common call-outs are for mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, across timber door frames, brick reveals and stone surrounds.
Homes in small places like Bradley often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Surface by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We can do one window or several.
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. It finishes to look like part of the surround.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere as small as Bradley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Windows and doors in Bradley
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. With historic houses such as Hall Place (about 1.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bradley as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Bradley: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with sand mastic in Bradley?
All our work, in Bradley and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Bradley?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Yes, we do this often. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic can sit properly.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Signs you need sand mastic in Bradley
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints round the window box
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
Around Bradley, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the quote in Bradley
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bradley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
