Problem with your window and door surrounds in Mousehill? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Why act early in Mousehill
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Mousehill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Sand mastic in Mousehill
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and does not suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. Common call-outs are for old cement repairs round a window that have failed and mastic dropping out of the joint, across stone surrounds, sash and case windows and timber door frames.
Somewhere as small as Mousehill, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Frames and glazing around Mousehill
Historic houses like Loseley Park (about 3.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Mousehill has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, 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.
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Milford (Surrey) station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like Mousehill, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How the job changes by surface
Brick reveals
We rake out the old mastic and pack deep voids before pointing.
Stone surrounds
Sand mastic sits naturally against stone. It finishes to look like part of the surround.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
What we’re called out for in Mousehill
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
If you look after a building such as Milford School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
- Damaged stone surrounds
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
