About our sand mastic in Sewardstone
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it and we will advise if you are redecorating. We work on tenement windows, timber door frames and brick reveals, and the jobs we see most are wind and rain getting in round a sash window and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first, and access in Sewardstone is something to talk through when you book.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Is Sewardstone in your area for sand mastic?

What guarantee comes with the work?

Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
We’ll help you decide. Period homes often look best with sand mastic and newer frames suit modern sealant.

No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

Landlord and commercial work in Sewardstone
If you manage several properties in or around Sewardstone, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Letting agents and landlords in Sewardstone can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Do you need sand mastic in Sewardstone?
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
Sewardstone is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Whether work needs listed building consent
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Frames and glazing around Sewardstone
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking. The South East is one of 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 such as Forty Hall, about 2.8 miles west, show how far back building around Sewardstone goes. Rented homes near Enfield Lock station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What happens if it’s left?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Sewardstone, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In Sewardstone, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
