Sand mastic in Well Hall
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. Typical jobs include gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and mastic dropping out of the joint, on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Windows and doors in Well Hall
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Eltham Palace (about 0.7 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Well Hall 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.
If you live in an older home near St Barnabas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Eltham station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

What happens if it’s left?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and the area is left clean. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Well Hall. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Well Hall
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip on the stone or timber.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Open joints round the window box
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
Well Hall is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
