Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we will explain why.
Should I try DIY first?

Yes, it’s worth checking. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
About our sand mastic in Curling Tye Green
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon but full hardening takes longer. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it and we will advise if you are redecorating. If you are dealing with mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Curling Tye Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Also in Curling Tye Green
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What sand mastic looks like in Curling Tye Green
Curling Tye Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Hatfield Peverel station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you look after a building such as Plume School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
