What we are called out for in Bevendean
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that is too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Homes close to Holy Nativity Community Project include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
About our sand mastic in Bevendean
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and is not always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on brick reveals, period & listed homes and stone surrounds, and common reasons people get in touch are old cement repairs round a window that have failed and cracked mastic round a front door frame.
In smaller places like Bevendean, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Sand mastic in Bevendean: local notes
Bevendean is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Royal Pavilion (about 2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bevendean as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Bevendean Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Moulsecoomb station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

What else we do in Bevendean
The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a job in Bevendean, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- 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.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. Homes in smaller places like Bevendean can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Bevendean: your questions answered
Is Bevendean within the area you cover?
Yes, Bevendean is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Moulsecoomb station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes, we do this often. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic beds in well.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Cracked or broken glass
- Decayed frames that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber, which can lead to rot.
How the job changes by surface
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
Period and listed homes
Materials matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Sand mastic is often the preferred finish.
