Sand mastic in Blindley Heath
Across Blindley Heath, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We work on timber door frames, stone surrounds and period & listed homes, and the jobs we see most are tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and cracked mastic round a front door frame.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Blindley Heath is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about sand mastic in Blindley Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Blindley Heath?

Is Blindley Heath in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Blindley Heath is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can I paint the new mastic?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
What’s sand mastic made of?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
How the job changes by surface
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside, so a neat, even finish matters.
Brick reveals
We rake out the old mastic and pack deep voids before the new mastic goes in.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Sash and case windows
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds

What we’re called out for in Blindley Heath
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They don’t move with the timber, and they normally need raking out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
In the older streets around Church of St John the Evanglist, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Blindley Heath, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
For landlords and businesses

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Around Blindley Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
