About our sand mastic in Newbridge
We work across Newbridge renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We work on brick reveals, period & listed homes and sash and case windows, and people most often call us about open joints round the window box and patchy fillers round a sash window.
Around Newbridge, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about sand mastic in Newbridge
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Newbridge any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Newbridge?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll advise.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Yes, we do this often. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic beds in well.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. We renew it the same way as on windows.
Period and listed homes
Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice for many period homes. On listed buildings, check with your planning authority first.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Why deal with it now?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Newbridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like Newbridge, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit

How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Advice
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What sand mastic looks like in Newbridge
Newbridge is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Swainston Manor (about 1.8 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Newbridge has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Church of St. Michael the Archangel, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
