Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Peasmarsh

Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. Typical jobs include gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and mastic dropping out of the joint, on brick reveals, tenement windows and period & listed homes.

Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Peasmarsh is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.

You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Peasmarsh as everywhere else we work.

What sealant work cannot fix

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:

  • Decisions on consent for listed homes
  • Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
  • Decayed frames that need repair

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

How it works

Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In a small place like Peasmarsh, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. Each surround is checked first.
  2. The joint is raked out and cleaned.
  3. Large voids are packed out.
  4. We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
  5. We finish the mastic to a tidy line.

Getting ready for the visit

Windows and doors in Peasmarsh

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Lamb House (about 2.5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Peasmarsh has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

If you let a flat or house near Rye station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What happens if it’s left?

Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. In a small place like Peasmarsh, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Your questions about sand mastic in Peasmarsh

Can you do sand mastic in Peasmarsh?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Peasmarsh is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Do you work for landlords with property near Rye station?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.

How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Peasmarsh?

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Should I use sand mastic or silicone?

We will talk it through with you. Period homes often look best with sand mastic and newer frames suit modern sealant.

Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?

Yes, it’s a common request. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic can sit properly.

How long will you be here?

A typical job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Which products do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Should I try it myself first?

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.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
  • Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
  • Get any rot dealt with first
  • Don’t paint over the new mastic

Avoid painting over the new mastic, which is the traditional advice. If you’re redecorating, ask us first.

Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.

When to call us in Peasmarsh

Sand mastic slowly weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
  • Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
  • Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
  • Draughty sash windows at the surround

If you look after a building such as Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
