Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Strood Green
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We are often asked to deal with mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and timber door frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Strood Green is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Sand mastic in Strood Green: local notes
Historic houses like Polesden Lacey (about 4.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Strood Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Betchworth station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Schools such as North Downs Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside so we finish it carefully.

Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. The method is the same as for windows.
Your questions about sand mastic in Strood Green
I let a flat near Betchworth station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Strood Green?
Yes. Strood Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
You get our one-year guarantee to all our work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
When to call us in Strood Green
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and pushes it out. Exposed elevations normally fail first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Open joints round the window box
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a small place like Strood Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each surround is checked first.
- 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
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
