- Patchy fillers round a sash window
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
Sand mastic in South Harefield, done properly
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on timber door frames, brick reveals and stone surrounds, and people most often call us about old cement repairs round a window that have failed and open joints round the window box. Mr Mastic is a specialist sealant company, not a general handyman, which means sand mastic in South Harefield is done by people who seal joints every day.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

South Harefield homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harefield Infant School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. South Harefield is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Letting a property close to Denham station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
South Harefield is about 3 miles west of Ruislip, in Greater London. From the centre of South Harefield to the outskirts, sand mastic is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Across Greater London, we cover 786 places, and South Harefield is one of them.

For landlords and businesses
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.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why deal with it now?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in South Harefield.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, depending on the size of the job. In a London area like South Harefield, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

South Harefield questions
Is parking an issue for sand mastic in South Harefield?
Parking in South Harefield, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you cover South Harefield for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and South Harefield is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
In most cases. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned, then point it with sand mastic.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Different surfaces, different methods
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. The finish blends with the masonry.
