Sand mastic for homes and businesses in West Drayton
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We work on period & listed homes, timber door frames and sash and case windows, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and mastic round period door frames that has failed.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in West Drayton?

Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry so early renewal protects both.
What the job involves on each surface
Timber door frames
Round a period front door, sand mastic gives the right look.
Brick reveals
An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. New mastic seals the gap.
What else we do in West Drayton
Windows and doors in West Drayton
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near West Drayton station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. In the older streets around Church of St Martin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Drayton
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In West Drayton, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Common problems we fix in West Drayton
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
Schools such as West Drayton Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
