Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Woodgreen
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. If you have weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Woodgreen is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Windows and doors in Woodgreen
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Breamore House (about 1.5 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Woodgreen 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’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to St Boniface include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Breamore Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
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.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and terrace windows
Tenements and terraces often have many sash windows with ageing mastic. We work on single windows or whole elevations.
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Putty and glazing repairs
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Woodgreen questions
Do you cover smaller places like Woodgreen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Woodgreen for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Woodgreen is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
When will the new mastic be hard?
Not straight away. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later and we will give you an idea for your job.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish, but they decide.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
We’ll help you decide. Period homes often look best with sand mastic and newer frames suit modern sealant.
How long does sand mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
