Dormansland homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Hammerwood Park (about 3.2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Dormansland as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Dormans station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you look after a building such as Dormansland Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Dormansland
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and brick reveals, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic dropping out of the joint and failed mastic on an exposed elevation.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Dormansland is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Around Dormansland, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Advice
Dormansland questions
Is Dormansland in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Dormansland is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dormans station?

Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like, but they decide.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Timber that has rotted
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Cracked or broken glass
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Let us know the floor and we will confirm access.
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before the new mastic goes in.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dormansland
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents and landlords in Dormansland can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
