Common questions in Thorncombe Street
Is Thorncombe Street in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Thorncombe Street is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Godalming station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How we handle sand mastic in Thorncombe Street
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon but full hardening takes longer. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it, so ask us before you decorate. Typical jobs include open joints round the window box and mastic dropping out of the joint, across brick reveals, tenement windows and period & listed homes.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Thorncombe Street is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a small place like Thorncombe Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

- Period & listed homes

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.

What sand mastic looks like in Thorncombe Street
Historic houses like Loseley Park (about 3.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Thorncombe Street has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
Loseley Park, about 3.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Thorncombe Street. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Godalming College, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. The finish blends with the masonry.
Brick reveals
Gaps between frame and brick let in rain and draughts. Renewing the mastic closes it.
