About our sand mastic in Marsh Green
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. We rake it out and renew it so the surround looks right again. If you are dealing with tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Marsh Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Marsh Green as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Marsh Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What sand mastic looks like in Marsh Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Hever Castle (about 2.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Marsh 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 is traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Marsh Green Mission Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Do you need sand mastic in Marsh Green?
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that is too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
Letting a property close to Edenbridge Town station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.

What affects the quote in Marsh Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Tenements and terraces often have many sash windows with ageing mastic. We work on single windows or whole elevations.
Sash and case windows
Sash windows are where we do most sand mastic work. Each joint round the box is raked out and renewed.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
