Sand mastic in Linton from a team with over 20 years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.

Why act early in Linton
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Linton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

About our sand mastic in Linton
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we will explain which is best for yours. We work on sash and case windows, brick reveals and timber door frames, and people most often call us about old cement repairs round a window that have failed and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick.
In a village or hamlet like Linton, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Linton
Is Linton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near East Farleigh station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What’s sand mastic made of?
Sand plus a binder based on linseed oil. It’s built up in the joint by hand and shaped to suit the surround.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. If you’re redecorating, ask us first.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
Different surfaces, different methods
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Period and listed homes
On a listed home or in a conservation area, the right material matters. Sand mastic is often the preferred finish.
Sand mastic in Linton: local notes
With historic houses such as Stoneacre (about 3.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Linton as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near East Farleigh station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Homes close to St Nicholas Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Cornwallis Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Linton, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In a small place like Linton, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
