When to call us in Shillinglee
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
Around Shillinglee, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Sand mastic in Shillinglee, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and is not always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. Common call-outs are for patchy fillers round a sash window and cracked mastic round a front door frame, on brick reveals, tenement windows and stone surrounds.
Somewhere as small as Shillinglee, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Questions from Shillinglee
Will you come out to Shillinglee?
Yes, Shillinglee is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Witley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Shillinglee?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Shillinglee.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. For a village or hamlet like Shillinglee, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
