The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere as small as Pyrford Village, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
How we handle sand mastic in Pyrford Village
Sand mastic does not last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. We work on tenement windows, sash and case windows and stone surrounds, and common reasons people get in touch are patchy fillers round a sash window and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating.
Around Pyrford Village, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Pyrford Village and across Surrey.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Timber that has rotted
- Broken panes
- Damaged stone surrounds
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Pyrford Village
Sand mastic in Pyrford Village: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Byfleet Manor (about 2.3 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Pyrford Village 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 is traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near West Byfleet station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. If you look after a building such as Pyrford Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Why deal with it now?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pyrford Village, 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 much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

What we’re called out for in Pyrford Village
Most of it is simply age. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
Homes close to St Nicholas's Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
