What sand mastic looks like in Perrywood
With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Perrywood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, 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 Selling Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Selling station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Why it’s worth doing now in Perrywood
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Perrywood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Your questions about sand mastic in Perrywood
I let a flat near Selling station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Perrywood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like, but they decide.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Do not paint over the new mastic
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere as small as Perrywood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
