Sand mastic in Marylebone
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. Typical jobs include mastic round period door frames that has failed and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, across period & listed homes, brick reveals and tenement windows.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, letting in draughts and water.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Windows and doors in Marylebone
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking. With historic houses such as Handel Hendrix House (about 0.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Marylebone as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Russian chapel on Welbeck Street, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Marylebone is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.

Common questions in Marylebone
Is Marylebone in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Marylebone is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bond Street station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, we do this often. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
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 tell you how long to expect.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Timber that has rotted
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Putty and glazing repairs
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

A traditional finish suits a period property.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Tell us the height and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
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. All told, the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In Marylebone, 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.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Advice
Do you need sand mastic in Marylebone?
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
If you look after a building such as St Vincent's Catholic Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
