How we handle sand mastic in Leigh Green
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. If you’re dealing with old cement repairs round a window that have failed and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, we can help, on sash and case windows, tenement windows and period & listed homes alike.
Homes in small places like Leigh Green 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Leigh Green
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mildred, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they’re fully insured
Common questions in Leigh Green
Do you cover smaller places like Leigh Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant.
Frames and glazing around Leigh Green
Historic houses like Smallhythe Place (about 1.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Leigh Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
Schools such as Tenterden Church of England Junior School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Surface by surface
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear and the mastic can crack early. We rake it out and renew it.
Sash and case windows
A sash window’s box frame sits in the masonry opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Why act early in Leigh Green
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Leigh Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
