Frames and glazing around Weston
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Baldock station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How we handle sand mastic in Weston
We work across Weston renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We work on brick reveals, tenement windows and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are failed mastic on an exposed elevation and old cement repairs round a window that have failed.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Weston is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Do you need sand mastic in Weston?
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. The movement cracks the mastic little by little.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Managing a site like Weston Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Broken panes
- Damaged stone surrounds

What we seal
- Period & listed homes
- Brick reveals
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Sash and case windows
- Tenement windows
Why it’s worth doing now in Weston
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home, and in listed buildings it may need consent. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Weston, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
Take a look at what affects the cost or what customers say.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Weston questions
Is Weston within the area you cover?
Yes. Weston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Baldock station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes, we do this often. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
