- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
Should I try it myself first?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How we handle sand mastic in Eden Park
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you have draughts and rain around sash boxes and mastic round period door frames that has failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
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 Eden Park as anywhere.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Eden Park as everywhere else we work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Sash and case windows
A sash window’s box frame sits in the masonry opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Period and listed homes
Materials matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Like-for-like sand mastic is normally favoured.
Quotes for sand mastic in Eden Park
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Eden Park. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Cracked or broken glass
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Brick reveals
- Stone surrounds
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
- Timber door frames
What happens if it’s left?
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 a flat in Eden Park, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews

What we’re called out for in Eden Park
Timber frames move with the seasons. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
Schools such as Langley Park School for Boys are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How long does sand mastic take to harden?

Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?

Will you leave a mess?

What is sand mastic?
It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder. It’s applied by hand and shaped to suit the surround.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Frames and glazing around Eden Park
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking. Historic houses like Bromley Palace (about 2.2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Eden Park 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.
As a London address, Eden Park can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Homes close to St John's Eden Park include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
