Why act early in South Oxhey
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in South Oxhey, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in South Oxhey
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and is not always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. If you’re dealing with modern sealant on a period surround and mastic dropping out of the joint, we can help, on tenement windows, sash and case windows and period & listed homes alike.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in South Oxhey.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Frames and glazing around South Oxhey
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Headstone Manor (about 2.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around South Oxhey as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Oxhey Chapel include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greenfields Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a London area like South Oxhey, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.
