Sand mastic in Potter's Green, done properly
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. Typical jobs include wind and rain getting in round a sash window and mastic round period door frames that has failed, across stone surrounds, timber door frames and period & listed homes.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Potter's Green is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Potter's Green
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip on the stone or timber.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Open joints round the window box
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether VAT is included
Questions from Potter's Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Buxted station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Potter's Green for sand mastic?
Yes, Potter's Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
What does sand mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It skins over fairly quickly but takes longer to harden fully. We’ll tell you what to expect for your job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can sand mastic be painted?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sand mastic in Potter's Green: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Buxted CofE Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
