About our sand mastic in Peckham Bush
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames generally get a flexible sealant instead and we’ll explain which is best for yours. If you’re dealing with failed mastic on an exposed elevation and window mastic to renew ahead of painting, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Peckham Bush is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you guarantee sand mastic work?

Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
How much does sand mastic cost in Peckham Bush?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What is sand mastic?
Sand plus a binder based on linseed oil. It’s applied by hand and finished to sit neatly against the masonry.
How it works

The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

Peckham Bush homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Old Soar Manor (about 3.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Peckham Bush as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like East Peckham Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Yalding station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Why it’s worth doing now in Peckham Bush
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic won’t stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Older cottages and farmhouses around Peckham Bush can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we are called out for in Peckham Bush
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
