How we handle sand mastic in Seer Green
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. We work on brick reveals, tenement windows and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are modern sealant on a period surround and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Seer Green is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Why deal with it now?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Seer Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.
Seer Green homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Seer Green Church of England School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Seer Green & Jordans station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Seer Green

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
In the older streets around Church of Holy Trinity, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How hidden problems are handled
