About our sand mastic in Nork
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. Common call-outs are for failed mastic on an exposed elevation and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, on tenement windows, sash and case windows and period & listed homes.
In smaller places like Nork, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we quote for sand mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
Nork questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Banstead station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do sand mastic in Nork?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Nork is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. If you are redecorating the window, ask us first and we will talk you through it.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Surface by surface
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear and the mastic can crack early. It’s renewed by hand.
Brick reveals
We rake out the old mastic and pack deep voids before the new mastic goes in.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. If you are redecorating, ask us first.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Damaged stone surrounds
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a smaller place like Nork, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Nork homes and the weather
Historic houses like Fitznells Manor (about 2.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Nork has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Warren Mead Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Banstead station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
