Sand mastic in Kingsfold, done properly
Sand mastic does not last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. We work on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows, and the jobs we see most are patchy fillers round a sash window and draughty sash windows at the surround.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Kingsfold is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.

Why act early in Kingsfold
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kingsfold, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Common questions in Kingsfold
I let a flat near Warnham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Kingsfold?
Yes. Kingsfold is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Often, yes. Once the silicone is out and the joint prepared, sand mastic is applied by hand.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It takes a while. It skins first and hardens fully later and we’ll give you an idea for your job.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Kingsfold, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
