Sand mastic in East Hanney
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. Common call-outs are for window mastic to renew ahead of painting and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, on tenement windows, sash and case windows and period & listed homes.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around East Hanney is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. The gap round it is pointed with sand mastic.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Cracked or broken glass
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Brick reveals
- Sash and case windows
- Timber door frames
- Stone surrounds
- Period & listed homes
- Tenement windows
Why it’s worth doing now in East Hanney
New sash windows are a major, costly change, and in listed buildings it may need consent. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Hanney can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- 12-month guarantee on every job
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. If you’re redecorating, ask us first.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.

Advice
Sand mastic in East Hanney: local notes
The South East is one of 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 Longworth House (about 4.5 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around East Hanney 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
