DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Wormley
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. We work on brick reveals, sash and case windows and tenement windows, and people most often call us about gaps where the frame meets the masonry and draughts and rain around sash boxes.
Around Wormley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Questions from Wormley
Do you cover smaller places like Wormley?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Witley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish but the decision is theirs.

Wormley homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like King Edward's School Witley? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What we’re called out for in Wormley
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer doesn’t hold well so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
Rented homes near Witley station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
Before booking anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wormley
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere as small as Wormley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Surface by surface
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the gap isn’t the same all the way round. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair, so check who is responsible first.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Leave the new mastic unpainted, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
