- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Russ Hill
We work across Russ Hill renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. Common call-outs are for silicone on a period window that looks wrong and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, on timber door frames, stone surrounds and tenement windows.
Around Russ Hill, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Russ Hill
Can you do sand mastic in Russ Hill?
Yes, Russ Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Russ Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can tenants book the work?

How long does sand mastic take to harden?
It skins over fairly quickly but takes longer to harden fully. We’ll tell you what to expect for your job.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes, it’s a common request. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Damaged stone surrounds
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Stone surrounds
- Period & listed homes
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Brick reveals
- Sash and case windows
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere as small as Russ Hill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Getting ready for the visit

What we’re called out for in Russ Hill
Timber frames move with the seasons. The movement cracks the mastic little by little.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and terrace windows
Tenements and terraces often have many sash windows with ageing mastic. We work on single windows or whole elevations.
Stone surrounds
The stone is treated with care while raking out the old mastic.
What happens if it’s left?
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic will not stop the gaps and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Russ Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
