Windows and doors in Brompton
Brompton is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near Brompton Garrison Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Chatham station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Brompton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Brompton?
Yes, Brompton is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Brompton any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
How much does sand mastic cost in Brompton?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It skins over fairly quickly but takes longer to harden fully. We will explain what to expect before we leave.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
We’ll talk it through with you. Period homes often look best with sand mastic, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
All our work has a one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. In a smaller place like Brompton, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How we quote for sand mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several in most cases. In a smaller place like Brompton, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
