Sand mastic in Ladywell, done properly
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material blends with stone and brick surrounds. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. If you’re dealing with mastic round period door frames that has failed and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can help, whatever the surface.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first, and access in Ladywell is something to talk through when you book.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Ladywell
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Queen's House (about 2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Ladywell 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.
Ladywell is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as St Mary's Lewisham Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.
Leave it or put it right?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Ladywell, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common problems we fix in Ladywell
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Open joints round the window box
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
For landlords with property near Ladywell station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
