Sand mastic in Stockland Green
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. Typical jobs include draughty sash windows at the surround and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, on tenement windows, period & listed homes and stone surrounds.
Somewhere as small as Stockland Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

Surface by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Upper-floor windows need access planning. Tell us the height and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Sash and case windows
Most of our sand mastic work is on sash windows. Each joint round the box is raked out and renewed.
Signs you need sand mastic in Stockland Green
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer doesn’t hold well, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Stockland Green questions
Is Stockland Green in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Stockland Green is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near High Brooms station?

What’s sand mastic made of?
Sand mastic is a traditional material for pointing round windows and doors. It’s made with sand and a linseed-oil-based binder.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Stockland Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere like Stockland Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.

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.
Managing a site like Speldhurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
