Sand mastic in Soldridge
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and timber door frames, and the jobs we see most are draughts and rain around sash boxes and mastic dropping out of the joint.
Around Soldridge, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Whether work needs listed building consent
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Brick reveals
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Soldridge, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.

Questions from Soldridge
Is there a guarantee on sand mastic in Soldridge?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Soldridge?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What exactly is sand mastic?
Sand mastic is a traditional material for pointing round windows and doors. It combines sand with a linseed-oil-based binder.
How much does sand mastic cost in Soldridge?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
What happens if it’s left?
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic won’t stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Soldridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Sand mastic in Soldridge: local notes
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 Bentworth Hall (about 2.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Soldridge 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Good Shepherd, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
Around Soldridge, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
