Sand mastic in Sun Rising
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. If you have silicone on a period window that looks wrong and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, we can put it right, on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and brick reveals alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Sun Rising is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sun Rising is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is sand mastic in Sun Rising guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Sun Rising, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

Sun Rising homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Upton House (about 0.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sun Rising as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Signs you need sand mastic in Sun Rising
Age is the main cause. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
Around Sun Rising, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
Why deal with it now?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. In a small place like Sun Rising, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- We never seal over old sealant

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Masonry that needs repairing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
