What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere like Bloodden needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Bloodden homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 1.5 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Bloodden has older buildings as well as new. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. In the older streets around Church of the Holy Innocents, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Adisham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
How the job changes by surface
Sash and case windows
Most of our sand mastic work is on sash windows. We renew the mastic round each box.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.

Do you cover smaller places like Bloodden?

We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Why act early in Bloodden
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home, and in listed buildings it may need consent. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bloodden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
