We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several in most cases. In a London area like Moor Park, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Sand mastic in Moor Park
We work across Moor Park renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We work on timber door frames, brick reveals and tenement windows, and common reasons people get in touch are modern sealant on a period surround and mastic dropping out of the joint.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Moor Park and across Greater London.

Moor Park questions

Is parking an issue for sand mastic in Moor Park?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.

Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.

Why act early in Moor Park
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home, and in listed buildings it may need consent. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Moor Park, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Landlord and commercial work in Moor Park
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Moor Park homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Headstone Manor (about 3.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Moor Park as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
Homes close to Holy Trinity Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. As a London address, Moor Park can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
