Is Quarley within the area you cover?
Yes. Quarley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Ask us before decorating.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How long does sand mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
It depends on the window. On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building and newer frames usually get a flexible sealant.
About our sand mastic in Quarley
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. Typical jobs include mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, across sash and case windows, brick reveals and tenement windows.
In a village or hamlet like Quarley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
A sash window’s box frame sits in the masonry opening. The gap round it is pointed with sand mastic.
Period and listed homes
Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice for many period homes. If your home is listed, ask your local planning authority about consent.
Quarley homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Grateley station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. Around Quarley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
