Surface by surface
Brick reveals
We rake out the old mastic and pack deep voids before the new mastic goes in.
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the gap is not the same all the way round. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Why act early in Tangley
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. Around Tangley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need sand mastic in Tangley?
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer does not hold well so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
In the older streets around Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Before booking anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Decayed frames that need repair
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Tangley: your questions answered
Can you do sand mastic in Tangley?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tangley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Tangley?
Yes, Tangley is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can sand mastic be painted?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. If you’re redecorating the window, ask us first and we will advise.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What is sand mastic?
It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder. It’s built up in the joint by hand and shaped to suit the surround.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. We will tell you when we quote.
