Frames and glazing around Hawbush Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Cressing Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of All Saints, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What exactly is sand mastic?
It’s the traditional filler for the joint round timber windows and doors. It’s made with sand and a linseed-oil-based binder.
Why act early in Hawbush Green
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hawbush Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.
What we’re called out for in Hawbush Green
