Marden's Hill homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Groombridge Place (about 3.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Marden's Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Crowborough station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Managing a site like St John's Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Sand mastic in Marden's Hill, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and is not always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. Common call-outs are for mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, across stone surrounds, timber door frames and period & listed homes.
Around Marden's Hill, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

Do you have insurance?

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What we are called out for in Marden's Hill
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
If you live in an older home near St John's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why deal with it now?
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. Older cottages and farmhouses around Marden's Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
