Why deal with it now?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. In an older home around Polegate, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

Sand mastic in Polegate, done properly
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you have gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, we can put it right.
Around Polegate, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
Frames and glazing around Polegate
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Michelham Priory (about 3.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Polegate has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Polegate station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Polegate Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to St John's Church of England Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Expect the work to take a few hours for a single window, longer for several, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.

What the job involves on each surface
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Period and listed homes
Many older homes were built with sand mastic round the windows. If your home is listed, ask your local planning authority about consent.
FAQs for Polegate
I let a flat near Polegate station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Polegate?
Yes. Polegate is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Can sand mastic be painted?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
For anyone letting property in or around Polegate, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
