DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
About our sand mastic in Southgate
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and does not suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. We are often asked to deal with window mastic to renew ahead of painting and mastic dropping out of the joint, on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and sash and case windows.
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 Southgate is something to talk through when you book.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Southgate homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Managing a site like Ashmole Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to New Southgate station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Your questions about sand mastic in Southgate
Is Southgate in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Southgate is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near New Southgate station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. 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 any work starts.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Period & listed homes
- Tenement windows
- Brick reveals
- Sash and case windows
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
Why act early in Southgate
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- Fully insured

Do you need sand mastic in Southgate?
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open joints round the window box
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
As a London address, Southgate can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several from start to finish. For a job in Southgate, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
