About our sand mastic in Mill Hill
We work across Mill Hill renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you have mastic dropping out of the joint and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, we can help, whatever the surface.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in, in Mill Hill as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Mill Hill
Do you work for landlords with property near Mill Hill Broadway 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 will give you a clear price.
Can you do sand mastic in Mill Hill?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Mill Hill is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Mill Hill.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can sand mastic be painted?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. If you are redecorating the window, ask us first and we will advise.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.
What sand mastic looks like in Mill Hill
With historic houses such as Heath Hall (about 4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Mill Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Mill Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Letting a property close to Mill Hill Broadway station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For an older house near a landmark such as St Paul's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Leave it or put it right?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Mill Hill, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

Advice
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
