What affects the quote in Nag's Head
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How we handle sand mastic in Nag's Head
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties where a modern sealant bead would stand out. If you are dealing with silicone on a period window that looks wrong and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, we can put it right.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease usually says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Nag's Head is something to talk through when you book.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Windows and doors in Nag's Head
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Witanhurst (about 1.7 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Nag's Head 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.
For landlords with property near Drayton Park station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Nag's Head is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a London area like Nag's Head, 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.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What the job involves on each surface
Period and listed homes
Period homes look their best with traditional materials, and sand mastic is one of them.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Tell us the height and we will confirm what’s needed.
Signs you need sand mastic in Nag's Head
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
If you look after a building such as Grafton Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Nag's Head: your questions answered
Is Nag's Head in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Nag's Head is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Drayton Park station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It forms a skin fairly soon and it hardens fully over a longer time. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
In most cases. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned, then point it with sand mastic.
What exactly is sand mastic?
It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder. It’s applied by hand and finished to sit neatly against the masonry.
Why it’s worth doing now in Nag's Head
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
