Sand mastic in Rushlake Green, done properly
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. Common call-outs are for draughts and rain around sash boxes and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and brick reveals.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Rushlake Green is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.

Why deal with it now?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rushlake Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Common questions in Rushlake Green
Can you do sand mastic in Rushlake Green?
Yes, Rushlake Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Rushlake Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Rushlake Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across East Sussex.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
The surface skins quite quickly, then hardens over a longer period. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Frames and glazing around Rushlake Green
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Bateman's (about 4.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rushlake Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Heathfield Community College? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
Common problems we fix in Rushlake 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:
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What product goes in the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- The length of the guarantee
