Landlord and commercial work in West Farleigh
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Sand mastic in West Farleigh
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. If you’re dealing with draughty sash windows at the surround and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as West Farleigh, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
FAQs for West Farleigh
Can you do sand mastic in West Farleigh?
Yes, West Farleigh is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like West Farleigh?
Yes, West Farleigh is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Often, yes. With the silicone removed and the joint cleaned, sand mastic is applied by hand.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, sand mastic included.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like West Farleigh needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why it’s worth doing now in West Farleigh
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Farleigh, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We’re fully insured
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Surface by surface
Brick reveals
We rake out the old mastic and pack deep voids before pointing.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes
- Sash and case windows

What sand mastic looks like in West Farleigh
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.

For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Oakwood Park Grammar School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
