About our sand mastic in Milford
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we’ll advise if you’re redecorating. Common call-outs are for crumbling sand mastic round a window and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, across brick reveals, stone surrounds and timber door frames.
In smaller places like Milford, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Landlord and commercial work in Milford
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Milford and across Surrey. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Why it’s worth doing now in Milford
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. In an older home around Milford, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Windows and doors in Milford
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. With historic houses such as Loseley Park (about 3.5 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Milford as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to St John the Evangelist'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. Letting a property close to Milford (Surrey) station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Signs you need sand mastic in Milford
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They don’t suit the joint, and they generally need raking out.
Look out for these signs:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Open joints round the window box
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
Schools such as Milford School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
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.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, depending on how much there is to do.

- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
