Questions from Trolliloes
Will you come out to Trolliloes?
Yes. Trolliloes is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee on sand mastic in Trolliloes?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It takes a while. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, we do this often. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic beds in well.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
About our sand mastic in Trolliloes
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. We work on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows, and common reasons people get in touch are crumbling sand mastic round a window and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating.
In a village or hamlet like Trolliloes, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like Trolliloes, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.
Signs you need sand mastic in Trolliloes
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and pushes it out. Exposed elevations usually fail first.
Look out for these signs:
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
In and around Trolliloes, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In a small place like Trolliloes, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Trolliloes
