Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Dormers Wells
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. Common call-outs are for old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, across timber door frames, brick reveals and sash and case windows.
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, letting in draughts and water.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why act early in Dormers Wells
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Dormers Wells, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When to call us in Dormers Wells
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window

- How hidden problems are handled

- Whether VAT is included
- How much experience the applicator has
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.
Dormers Wells homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Osterley House (about 1.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Dormers Wells 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dormers Wells Junior School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Southall station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
