Sand mastic in Peasmarsh
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. If you’re dealing with gaps where the frame meets the masonry and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Peasmarsh, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Peasmarsh and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Peasmarsh
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not suit the joint, and they generally need raking out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What happens if it’s left?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Peasmarsh can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Peasmarsh, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- 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.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Cracked or broken glass
- Masonry that needs repairing

Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Generally, yes. With the silicone removed and the joint cleaned, sand mastic is applied by hand.
When will the new mastic be hard?
Not straight away. It skins first and hardens fully later and we’ll give you an idea for your job.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
