Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Cuxton
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you have draughty sash windows at the surround and crumbling sand mastic round a window, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Cuxton is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.

What affects the quote in Cuxton
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
Every job is quoted individually. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Cuxton homes and 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. Historic houses like Starkey Castle (about 0.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Cuxton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cuxton Community Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why act early in Cuxton
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cuxton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Cuxton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
