Sand mastic in Sudbury Hill, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and does not suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. Common call-outs are for gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and crumbling sand mastic round a window, across period & listed homes, tenement windows and stone surrounds.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Your questions about sand mastic in Sudbury Hill
Is parking a problem for a job in Sudbury Hill?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is Sudbury Hill in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Sudbury Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
Sand mastic generally suits period timber windows best. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we’ll explain why.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Sudbury Hill?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned, then point it with sand mastic.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.

What sand mastic looks like in Sudbury Hill
With historic houses such as Northolt Manor (about 2.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sudbury Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
As a London address, Sudbury Hill can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Managing a site like Sudbury Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?
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 once it shows in Sudbury Hill, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints for a typical job. In Sudbury Hill, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
