Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Smallbridge
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. Typical jobs include window mastic to renew ahead of painting and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, on tenement windows, sash and case windows and period & listed homes.
Around Smallbridge, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a small place like Smallbridge, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
When to call us in Smallbridge
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint, which is a good time to renew it.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Open joints round the window box
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
For landlords with property near Marden station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick reveals
Gaps between frame and brick let in rain and draughts. New mastic seals the gap.
Stone surrounds
Sand mastic sits naturally against stone. The finish blends with the masonry.
Why act early in Smallbridge
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. In a small place like Smallbridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smallbridge
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Windows and doors in Smallbridge
Historic houses like Scotney Castle (about 2.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Smallbridge has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Margaret include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
