What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. A visit to Peartree Green is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

How we handle sand mastic in Peartree Green
We work across Peartree Green renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you are dealing with tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can put it right, on timber door frames, period & listed homes and brick reveals alike.
Houses in smaller places like Peartree Green can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Why act early in Peartree Green
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Around Peartree Green, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Your questions about sand mastic in Peartree Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Woolston station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Peartree Green?
Yes, Peartree Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Brick reveals
- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
- Stone surrounds
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Windows and doors in Peartree Green
Peartree Green is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Medieval Merchant's House (about 1.3 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Peartree Green 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 look after a building such as Ludlow Infant Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Peartree Green United Reform Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
