What sand mastic looks like in Bulls Cross
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Capel Manor Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Turkey Street station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Sand mastic in Bulls Cross, done properly
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. If you have tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and modern sealant on a period surround, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Some people call us the mastic man, others the silicone man or the sealant specialist; in Bulls Cross, the job is the same: proper preparation and the right sealant for every joint.
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, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Bulls Cross.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber, which can lead to rot.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bulls Cross
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. 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.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several.

- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Timber that has rotted
- Cracked or broken glass
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes

- Brick reveals
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
