Sand mastic in Cramhurst
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we will advise if you are redecorating. If you have weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Cramhurst is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we are called out for in Cramhurst
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
For landlords with property near Milford (Surrey) station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Cramhurst homes and the weather
Historic houses like Loseley Park (about 4.4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Cramhurst 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’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad, and renewing the mastic closes them. Around Cramhurst, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why Cramhurst customers choose us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- One-year guarantee on every job

How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Cramhurst: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Cramhurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Milford (Surrey) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
We will talk it through with you. Period homes often look best with sand mastic, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several in most cases. Somewhere like Cramhurst needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cramhurst
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
