What affects the cost of sand mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Sand mastic in Sutton Common
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. If you’re dealing with wind and rain getting in round a sash window and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, we can put it right.
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 Sutton Common is something to talk through when you book.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Sutton Common and everywhere else we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sutton Common
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Sutton Common.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Sutton Common questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Sutton Common?
Parking in Sutton Common, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you do sand mastic in Sutton Common?
Yes, Sutton Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
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.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Yes, it’s worth checking. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Sand mastic in Sutton Common: local notes
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. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
For landlords with property near St Helier station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you live in an older home near St Lawrence Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It gives a traditional finish.
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We work on single windows or whole elevations.
When to call us in Sutton Common
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
