Sand mastic in Camden Town, done properly
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. Typical jobs include old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and mastic round period door frames that has failed, on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and timber door frames.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Camden Town as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In Camden Town, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What else we do in Camden Town
Why it’s worth doing now in Camden Town
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Frames and glazing around Camden Town
Historic houses like Winfield House (about 1.2 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Camden Town has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
If you live in an older home near St Michael's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. As a London address, Camden Town can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Do you need sand mastic in Camden Town?
Some old mastic was never deep enough. Mastic that is too thin cracks and drops out, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
Schools such as Our Lady Roman Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
