DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Landlord and commercial work in Ramsnest Common
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. In a small place like Ramsnest Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere as small as Ramsnest Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
