About our sand mastic in Rosehill
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder and built up by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. If you are dealing with mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and crumbling sand mastic round a window, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rosehill
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
If you manage several properties in or around Rosehill, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.

What else we do in Rosehill
Leave it or put it right?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Sand mastic in Rosehill: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Sutton Common station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Managing a site like Tweeddale Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
