How we handle sand mastic in Cheeseman's Green
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. Typical jobs include open joints round the window box and gaps round a timber door in stone or brick, on timber door frames, tenement windows and period & listed homes.
In a village or hamlet like Cheeseman's Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Leave it or put it right?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cheeseman's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Sand mastic in Cheeseman's Green: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Godinton House (about 4.3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cheeseman's Green 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 Finberry Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Godinton House, about 4.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cheeseman's Green, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Landlord and commercial work in Cheeseman's Green
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.

Expect the work to take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
