Common problems we fix in Whitehouse
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that is too thin cracks and drops out, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

About our sand mastic in Whitehouse
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We are often asked to deal with draughty sash windows at the surround and gaps round a timber door in stone or brick, across timber door frames, tenement windows and sash and case windows.
Homes around Whitehouse range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Your questions about sand mastic in Whitehouse
Do you cover Whitehouse for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Whitehouse is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Whitehouse within the area you cover?
Yes, Whitehouse is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
The surface skins quite quickly, then hardens over a longer period. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Check with your local planning authority. They’ll tell you if consent is needed.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What does sand mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Windows and doors in Whitehouse
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Linford Manor (about 3.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Whitehouse has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Whitehouse Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Milton Keynes Central station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Why it’s worth doing now in Whitehouse
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. In an older home around Whitehouse, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a smaller place like Whitehouse, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Surface by surface
Stone surrounds
We take care not to mark the stone when the old mastic comes out.
Sash and case windows
Sash windows are where we do most sand mastic work. We renew the mastic round each box.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Leave the new mastic unpainted, as traditional guidance advises. If you are redecorating, ask us first.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.
