About our sand mastic in Stroud Common
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we will advise if you are redecorating. We’re often asked to deal with modern sealant on a period surround and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and tenement windows.
In a village or hamlet like Stroud Common, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Stroud Common and across Surrey.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stroud Common
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stroud Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

FAQs for Stroud Common
Is Stroud Common within the area you cover?
Yes. Stroud Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Stroud Common for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Stroud Common is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Your local planning authority is the one to ask. They decide whether consent is needed.
How the job changes by surface
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before pointing.
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. The gap round it is pointed with sand mastic.
What we are called out for in Stroud Common
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and loosens it further. Exposed elevations usually fail first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Open joints round the window box
Rented homes near Chilworth station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Stroud Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Chilworth Manor (about 3.1 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stroud Common as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Christ Church 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 Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
