DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Sand mastic in Elmbridge Village, done properly
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead and we’ll explain which is best for yours. Typical jobs include modern sealant on a period surround and open joints round the window box, across period & listed homes, brick reveals and timber door frames.
Homes in small places like Elmbridge Village often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Elmbridge Village, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- 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.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

FAQs for Elmbridge Village
Do you cover smaller places like Elmbridge Village?
Yes. Elmbridge Village is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Elmbridge Village in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Elmbridge Village is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. We will tell you when we quote.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Sand mastic in Elmbridge Village: local notes

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It gives a traditional finish.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. If you’re redecorating, ask us first.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
