- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.
Sand mastic in Wotton
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. If you have gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Wotton, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Landlord and commercial work in Wotton
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Frames and glazing around Wotton
With historic houses such as Polesden Lacey (about 3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wotton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Gomshall station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Priory CofE Voluntary Aided School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How the visit works

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.

- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Common questions in Wotton
Do you cover smaller places like Wotton?
Yes, Wotton is covered. 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gomshall station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
It depends on the window. On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building, while modern frames normally get a flexible sealant.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.

Do you need sand mastic in Wotton?
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and loosens it further. Exposed elevations usually fail first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What affects the quote in Wotton
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Broken panes
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
