Sand mastic in Horsemere Green, done properly
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you’re dealing with gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and mastic round period door frames that has failed, we can help, on timber door frames, tenement windows and brick reveals alike.
Homes in small places like Horsemere Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Frames and glazing around Horsemere Green
Horsemere Green is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like St Mary's CofE Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Ford station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Horsemere Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. The method is the same as for windows.
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair, so check who is responsible first.
What happens if it’s left?
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. Around Horsemere Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

When to call us in Horsemere Green
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
