Why act early in World's End
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in World's End, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Sand mastic in World's End, done properly
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder and built up by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. Common call-outs are for old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, across period & listed homes, sash and case windows and tenement windows.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in World's End.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, depending on the size of the job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
When to call us in World's End
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip on the stone or timber.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Grange Park Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Sand mastic in World's End: local notes
With historic houses such as Forty Hall (about 2.4 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around World's End as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to St Peter's Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. World's End is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
