The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Little London, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- 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 parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little London
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little London can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Sand mastic in Little London: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like The Vyne (about 1.9 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Little London has older buildings as well as new. 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.
For landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Homes close to Saint Stephen's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
