Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Sand mastic in Burpham
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead, and we will talk through which suits your home. If you are dealing with patchy fillers round a sash window and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Burpham range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Parking around Burpham is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Sand mastic in Burpham: local notes
With historic houses such as Clandon Park (about 1.7 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burpham 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. London and the South East are among 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 the older streets around Church of the Holy Spirit, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near London Road (Guildford) station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as George Abbot School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
For sand mastic in Burpham, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad, and renewing the mastic closes them. Homes in smaller places like Burpham can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Surface by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair, so check who is responsible first.
Brick reveals
An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. Renewing the mastic closes it.
