How we handle sand mastic in Wallend
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you have gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease normally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Wallend is something to talk through when you book.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Windows and doors in Wallend
Historic houses like Eastbury Manor House (about 1.5 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Wallend has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around St John the Baptist's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. As a London address, Wallend can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In Wallend, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Why act early in Wallend
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants do not always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Wallend, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Landlords and agents in Wallend can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)

FAQs for Wallend
Do you work for landlords with property near Barking station?

Is parking an issue for sand mastic in Wallend?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Yes, it’s worth checking. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can sand mastic be painted?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
When to call us in Wallend
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They don’t suit the joint, and they generally need raking out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
For landlords with property near Barking station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
