How we handle sand mastic in Cores End
We work across Cores End renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. Typical jobs include gaps where the frame meets the masonry and window mastic to renew ahead of painting, on timber door frames, sash and case windows and stone surrounds.
Homes in small places like Cores End often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How we quote for sand mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Why deal with it now?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. In a small place like Cores End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What else we do in Cores End
What sand mastic looks like in Cores End
Historic houses like Cliveden (about 1.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Cores End has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Bourne End station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. If you live in an older home near Cores End United Reformed Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Do you need sand mastic in Cores End?
Timber frames move with the seasons. The movement cracks the mastic little by little.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
If you look after a building such as St Paul's Church of England Combined School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is

- Whether the sealant suits the joint
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
