Furneux Pelham: your questions answered
Is Furneux Pelham within the area you cover?
Yes. Furneux Pelham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with sand mastic in Furneux Pelham?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What does sand mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
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.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long does sand mastic take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Sand mastic in Furneux Pelham
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. If you are dealing with open joints round the window box and modern sealant on a period surround, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Furneux Pelham 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Furneux Pelham
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
If you look after a building such as Furneux Pelham Church of England School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

- What the cure time is
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Leave the new mastic unpainted, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
Quotes for sand mastic in Furneux Pelham
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

Why deal with it now?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Furneux Pelham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Windows and doors in Furneux Pelham
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere as small as Furneux Pelham, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- 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
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
