Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Tattenham Corner

Typical jobs include draughty sash windows at the surround and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, on tenement windows, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.

The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Tattenham Corner needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Your questions about sand mastic in Tattenham Corner
I let a flat near Tattenham Corner station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

What exactly is sand mastic?
Sand mastic is a traditional material for pointing round windows and doors. It’s made with sand and a linseed-oil-based binder.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we will explain why.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can I paint the new mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll talk you through it.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
In most cases. We remove the silicone and clean the joint, then point it with sand mastic.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We work on single windows or whole elevations.
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It suits older brickwork.
Frames and glazing around Tattenham Corner
With historic houses such as Fitznells Manor (about 3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tattenham Corner 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Epsom Downs Primary School and Children's Centre, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to St Mark include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Tattenham Corner station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tattenham Corner
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Around Tattenham Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
