About our sand mastic in Cooper's Green
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we’ll explain which is best for yours. We work on tenement windows, stone surrounds and sash and case windows, and common reasons people get in touch are weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked.
Around Cooper's Green, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Cooper's Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- 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.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cooper's Green
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.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Cooper's Green and across East Sussex. We can quote a run of properties together.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.

Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What happens if it’s left?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cooper's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Do you need sand mastic in Cooper's Green?
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Homes close to Five Ash Down Independent Chapel include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
