About our sand mastic in Walthamstow
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you’re dealing with gaps where the frame meets the masonry and mastic dropping out of the joint, we can put it right, on sash and case windows, tenement windows and stone surrounds alike.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Walthamstow as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

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.

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Walthamstow?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

What happens if it’s left?
New mastic over crumbling mastic will not hold. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new work lasts. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Walthamstow.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Walthamstow homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Bruce Castle (about 2.4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Walthamstow as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Greenleaf Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Walthamstow Central station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. As a London address, Walthamstow can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Leave the new mastic unpainted, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
