About our sand mastic in Woodside Park
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and does not suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on stone surrounds, timber door frames and sash and case windows, and common reasons people get in touch are failed mastic on an exposed elevation and open joints round the window box.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease usually says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Woodside Park is something to talk through when you book.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Frames and glazing around Woodside Park
With historic houses such as Heath Hall (about 3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woodside Park as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Woodside Park is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For landlords with property near Oakleigh Park station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
When to call us in Woodside Park
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
In the older streets around Saint Barnabas' Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Woodside Park. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Quotes for sand mastic in Woodside Park
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
