Sand mastic in Sutton, done properly
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. If you are dealing with cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and window mastic to renew ahead of painting, we can help, on period & listed homes, brick reveals and tenement windows alike.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Common questions in Sutton
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Sutton?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
I let a flat near Sutton (London) station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you cover Sutton?
Yes. We work in Sutton, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What exactly is sand mastic?
It’s the traditional filler for the joint round timber windows and doors. It combines sand with a linseed-oil-based binder.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows

Windows and doors in Sutton
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Robin Hood Junior School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Sutton is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens if it’s left?
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Sutton, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Stone surrounds
The stone is treated with care when the old mastic comes out.
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
