DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sand mastic in Noak Hill
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we’ll explain which is best for yours. We work on period & listed homes, brick reveals and sash and case windows, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic dropping out of the joint and draughts and rain around sash boxes.
Homes in small places like Noak Hill often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What sand mastic looks like in Noak Hill
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Hare Hall (about 2.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Noak Hill 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Thomas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Harold Wood station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Managing a site like Drapers' Pyrgo Priory School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
