Sand mastic in Hatfield Peverel, done properly
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. We work on timber door frames, sash and case windows and tenement windows, and the jobs we see most are old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating.
In smaller places like Hatfield Peverel, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Frames and glazing around Hatfield Peverel
Historic houses like Danbury Place (about 4.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Hatfield Peverel 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Hatfield Peverel St Andrew's Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Andrew, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
