Sand mastic in Grove Park
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames generally get a flexible sealant instead, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. If you have silicone on a period window that looks wrong and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, we can help, whatever the surface.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Grove Park as anywhere.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints in most cases. In a London area like Grove Park, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Frames and glazing around Grove Park
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Eltham Palace (about 1.6 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Grove Park has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Haberdashers' Aske's Knights Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. As a London address, Grove Park can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
