Why act early in Lingfield Common
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. Around Lingfield Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
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.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
It forms a skin fairly soon and it hardens fully over a longer time. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
In most cases. We remove the silicone and clean the joint before the sand mastic goes in.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Do you need sand mastic in Lingfield Common?
Timber frames move with the seasons. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
