Sand mastic in Westcombe Park
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material blends with stone and brick surrounds. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on tenement windows, sash and case windows and period & listed homes, and people most often call us about draughts and rain around sash boxes and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first, and access in Westcombe Park is something to talk through when you book.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.
Different surfaces, different methods
Period and listed homes
On a listed home or in a conservation area, the right material matters. Sand mastic is often the preferred finish.
Timber door frames
Round a period front door, sand mastic gives the right look.
What sand mastic looks like in Westcombe Park
With historic houses such as Queen's House (about 1 mile west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Westcombe Park as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Westcombe Park is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Managing a site like Halstow Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Questions from Westcombe Park
Do you cover Westcombe Park for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Westcombe Park is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Westcombe Park station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Westcombe Park?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, it’s a common request. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic beds in well.

Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows.
