Marden Sand Mastic
We cover Marden for traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
When to call us in Marden
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows, which is a good time to renew it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Open joints round the window box
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
If you let a flat or house near Marden station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
Before you book anyone

- What happens if the job turns out different

Sand mastic in Marden
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We work on brick reveals, timber door frames and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and open joints round the window box.
Many houses in smaller places like Marden have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Windows and doors in Marden
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Marden Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to St Michael and All Angels 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.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Avoid painting over the new mastic, which is the traditional advice. If you are redecorating, ask us first.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a job in Marden, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why it’s worth doing now in Marden
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. In a smaller place like Marden, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
