Windows and doors in Peaks Hill
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking. 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.
Peaks Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Schools such as Coloma Convent Girls' School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Peaks Hill
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties where a modern sealant bead would stand out. If you’re dealing with gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, we can put it right.

What else we do in Peaks Hill
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber, which can lead to rot.
