Sand mastic in Harold Wood, done properly
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you are dealing with old cement repairs round a window that have failed and window mastic to renew ahead of painting, we can help, on sash and case windows, brick reveals and tenement windows alike. Mastic man, silicone man or sealant specialist, the name varies, but the work in Harold Wood is the same: old material out, joints prepared and the right product used.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in, in Harold Wood as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why act early in Harold Wood
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. In a flat in Harold Wood, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Advice
Sand mastic in Harold Wood: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book. 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.
If you live in an older home near Saint Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Harold Wood is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
