- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick

- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Why act early in Lower Morden
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. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Lower Morden.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Full insurance on every job
Sand mastic in Lower Morden
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it, so ask us before you decorate. Typical jobs include modern sealant on a period surround and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, on stone surrounds, timber door frames and period & listed homes.
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 Lower Morden is something to talk through when you book.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need sand mastic in Lower Morden
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Open joints round the window box
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
Rented homes near St Helier station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
FAQs for Lower Morden
Do you work for landlords with property near St Helier station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do sand mastic in Lower Morden?
Yes, Lower Morden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In Lower Morden, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Lower Morden homes and the weather
Historic houses like Southside House (about 2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Lower Morden 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aragon Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near St Martin's, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Different surfaces, different methods
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. We renew it the same way as on windows.
