Sand mastic in Pedlinge, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place 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. Common call-outs are for weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and mastic dropping out of the joint, across sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Pedlinge is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.

When to call us in Pedlinge
Timber frames move with the seasons. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open joints round the window box
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
Homes close to Pedlinge Chapel include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pedlinge can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Pedlinge homes and the weather
Pedlinge is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (about 1.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pedlinge as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Sandling station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Pedlinge: your questions answered
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Pedlinge any different?
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 Sandling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can I paint the new mastic?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Check with your local planning authority. They’ll tell you if consent is needed.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
How long does sand mastic take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
