About our sand mastic in East Saltdean
We work across East Saltdean renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We work on tenement windows, brick reveals and sash and case windows, and common reasons people get in touch are a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and window mastic to renew ahead of painting.
Many houses in smaller places like East Saltdean have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in East Saltdean as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in East Saltdean
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
East Saltdean homes and the weather
East Saltdean is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Monk's House (about 3.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around East Saltdean as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Southease station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Schools such as Saltdean Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near St Nicholas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
East Saltdean is about 4 miles west of Newhaven, in Brighton and Hove. Jobs in East Saltdean get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. 30 places in Brighton and Hove are on our list.

What happens if it’s left?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. Around East Saltdean, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. A visit to East Saltdean is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

East Saltdean questions
Does the coastal weather in East Saltdean affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Southease station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
Sand mastic usually suits period timber windows best. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we will explain why.
What’s sand mastic made of?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, sand mastic included.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Sashes that need overhauling
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
