Sand mastic in Fuller Street, done properly
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. Common call-outs are for silicone on a period window that looks wrong and crumbling sand mastic round a window, across tenement windows, sash and case windows and period & listed homes.
Homes in small places like Fuller Street often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Windows and doors in Fuller Street
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near White Notley station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Questions from Fuller Street
Is Fuller Street in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Fuller Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Fuller Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Fuller Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What is sand mastic?
Sand mastic is a traditional material for pointing round windows and doors. It combines sand with a linseed-oil-based binder.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
What affects the cost of sand mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

- Stone surrounds
When to call us in Fuller Street
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and loosens it further. Exposed elevations usually fail first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
