About our sand mastic in Paglesham Eastend
We work across Paglesham Eastend renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. Common call-outs are for crumbling sand mastic round a window and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, across timber door frames, sash and case windows and brick reveals.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Paglesham Eastend is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common problems we fix in Paglesham Eastend
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time, depending on exposure and upkeep.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
Homes close to St Peters Mission Hall include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. If you’re redecorating, ask us first.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.

What else we do in Paglesham Eastend
What happens if it’s left?
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Around Paglesham Eastend, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
