About our sand mastic in Heath Park
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you’re dealing with mastic round period door frames that has failed and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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 Heath Park as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.

Heath Park: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in Heath Park?
Parking in Heath Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is Heath Park in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Heath Park is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, it’s a common request. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Heath Park?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Why act early in Heath Park
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows from start to finish. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.

What sand mastic looks like in Heath Park
Historic houses like Hare Hall (about 0.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Heath Park has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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 look after a building such as Squirrels Heath Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Gidea Park station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Signs you need sand mastic in Heath Park
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They do not suit the joint, and they normally need raking out.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints round the window box
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
In the older streets around Saint Alban Church of England, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
