Frames and glazing around Stonecrouch

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Scotney Castle (about 1.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Stonecrouch has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

Sand mastic in Stonecrouch, done properly

Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. If you are dealing with cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, we can help, whatever the surface.

Homes in small places like Stonecrouch often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Quotes for sand mastic in Stonecrouch

We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:

  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The product the joint needs
  • How much there is to do
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • The rough size of the job
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Whether it has been sealed before

There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When it is not the sealant

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:

  • Sashes that need overhauling
  • Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
  • Decisions on consent for listed homes

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Stone surrounds
  • Timber door frames
  • Period & listed homes
  • Brick reveals
  • Tenement windows
  • Sash and case windows

Why deal with it now?

New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new work lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stonecrouch can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Stonecrouch questions

Do you work for landlords with property near Etchingham station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Can you do sand mastic in Stonecrouch?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Stonecrouch is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.

Are you insured?

Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.

Can sand mastic be painted?

The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we will advise.

How long does sand mastic take?

As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.

Look out for these signs:

  • Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
  • Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
  • Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
  • Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
