Sand Mastic in Heathrow
Traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Heathrow. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Heathrow
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. If you’re dealing with open joints round the window box and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, we can put it right, on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and tenement windows alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Heathrow is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Heathrow homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Osterley House (about 4.6 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Heathrow as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Bedfont Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Historic houses such as Osterley House, about 4.6 miles east, show how far back building around Heathrow goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Do you need sand mastic in Heathrow?
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows, which is a good time to renew it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
If you let a flat or house near Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

How the job changes by surface
Brick reveals
Gaps between frame and brick let in rain and draughts. New mastic seals the gap.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Heathrow
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Heathrow, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Over 20 years’ experience

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Heathrow, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
