Why deal with it now?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. In a small place like Breachwood Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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.

Do you need sand mastic in Breachwood Green?
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint, which is a good time to renew it.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?

Frames and glazing around Breachwood Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Shaw's Corner (about 4.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Breachwood Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Luton Airport Parkway station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Breachwood Green Junior Mixed and Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Questions from Breachwood Green
Do you cover smaller places like Breachwood Green?
Yes, Breachwood Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Luton Airport Parkway station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It takes a while. It skins first and hardens fully later, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What affects the cost of sand mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
