Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sand mastic in Peacehaven
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We work on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are patchy fillers round a sash window and window mastic to renew ahead of painting.
Houses in smaller places like Peacehaven can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)

Landlords, agents and businesses in Peacehaven
Landlords and agents in Peacehaven can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. In an older home around Peacehaven, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

FAQs for Peacehaven
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Peacehaven?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newhaven Town station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What is sand mastic?
Sand plus a binder based on linseed oil. It’s built up in the joint by hand and shaped to suit the surround.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Peacehaven?

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints in most cases.

- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.

Advice
What sand mastic looks like in Peacehaven
Peacehaven is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Ascension Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Peacehaven Community School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
