Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Kemprow
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. If you’re dealing with silicone on a period window that looks wrong and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, we can help, on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and brick reveals alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Kemprow is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Kemprow and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
What happens if it’s left?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Around Kemprow, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Kemprow homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as High Elms Manor (about 2.7 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Kemprow as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to St John include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Fair Field Junior School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

FAQs for Kemprow
Do you work for landlords with property near Radlett station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Kemprow within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
What is sand mastic?
It’s the traditional filler for the joint round timber windows and doors. It’s made with sand and a linseed-oil-based binder.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
When will the new mastic be hard?
Not right away. It skins first and hardens fully later and we will give you an idea for your job.
What affects the quote in Kemprow
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Broken panes
- Timber that has rotted
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Brick reveals
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. For a village or hamlet like Kemprow, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
