What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside, so a neat, even finish matters.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
Sand mastic in Grange Mills
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. Typical jobs include open joints round the window box and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, on brick reveals, period & listed homes and stone surrounds.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take 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 Grange Mills. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

When to call us in Grange Mills
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer does not hold well, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.

Windows and doors in Grange Mills
Historic houses like Kingswood House (about 2.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Grange Mills 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. 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.
Grange Mills is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Kingswood House, about 2.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Grange Mills, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
