About our sand mastic in West Heath
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you have window mastic to renew ahead of painting and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around West Heath, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Quotes for sand mastic in West Heath
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Why act early in West Heath
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. Around West Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Common questions in West Heath
Do you work for landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Heath is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish but the decision is theirs.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
That depends on your windows. On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building and newer frames generally get a flexible sealant.

Frames and glazing around West Heath
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. Historic houses like The Vyne (about 3 miles east) are a reminder that the area around West Heath has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Schools such as The Priory Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as West Heath, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
