How we handle sand mastic in Pachesham Park
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. We work on stone surrounds, timber door frames and period & listed homes, and people most often call us about gaps where the frame meets the masonry and mastic dropping out of the joint.
In a village or hamlet like Pachesham Park, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Pachesham Park
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:

What sand mastic looks like in Pachesham Park
Historic houses like The Homewood (about 3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Pachesham Park 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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Therfield School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Ashtead station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

What the job involves on each surface

Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the gap is not the same all the way round. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Period and listed homes
Materials matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Sand mastic is often the preferred finish.
Common questions in Pachesham Park
Can you do sand mastic in Pachesham Park?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Pachesham Park is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Pachesham Park?
Yes, Pachesham Park is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Checking first is sensible. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Around Pachesham Park, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What we are called out for in Pachesham Park
Some old mastic was never deep enough. A thin layer does not hold well, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
The Homewood, about 3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pachesham Park, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.

What else we do in Pachesham Park
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a small place like Pachesham Park, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
