About our sand mastic in West Twyford
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you’re dealing with mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and draughty sash windows at the surround, we can help.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in West Twyford.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around West Twyford, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What happens if it’s left?
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in West Twyford, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

- 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.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber, which can lead to rot.

Sand mastic in West Twyford: local notes
Historic houses like Pitzhanger Manor (about 1.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around West Twyford has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as West Twyford Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. As a London address, West Twyford can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
