Sand mastic in Freezywater
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it, so ask us before you decorate. If you are dealing with failed mastic on an exposed elevation and draughty sash windows at the surround, we can put it right, on sash and case windows, timber door frames and brick reveals alike. Mr Mastic is a mastic company, not a general handyman, so sand mastic in Freezywater is done by someone who does this every day.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Freezywater.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
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.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How long does sand mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Freezywater
New sash windows are a major, costly change, and in listed buildings it may need consent. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Freezywater.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Windows and doors in Freezywater
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Forty Hall (about 1.7 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Freezywater as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Ss Peter and Paul Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Enfield Lock station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
