About our sand mastic in Rusper
Across Rusper, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you’re dealing with weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and mastic round period door frames that has failed, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Rusper is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Rusper
Do you cover smaller places like Rusper?

Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
We’ll talk it through with you. Sand mastic suits many period homes, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish, but they decide.
How long does sand mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. We will confirm how long when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a village or hamlet like Rusper, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We can do one window or several.
Period and listed homes
A traditional finish suits a period property, and sand mastic is one of them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rusper
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rusper, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Signs you need sand mastic in Rusper

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
