Teasley Mead Sand Mastic
Our applicators work in Teasley Mead on traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
How we handle sand mastic in Teasley Mead
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames generally get a flexible sealant instead, and we will talk through which suits your home. We work on period & listed homes, timber door frames and tenement windows, and the jobs we see most are weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and mastic round period door frames that has failed.
Somewhere as small as Teasley Mead, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Quotes for sand mastic in Teasley Mead
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Timber that has rotted
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Teasley Mead, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Teasley Mead
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Groombridge Place (about 2.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Teasley Mead 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.
If you let a flat or house near Ashurst Kent station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

FAQs for Teasley Mead
Is Teasley Mead within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Ashurst Kent station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
The surface skins quite quickly and it hardens fully over a longer time. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Why it’s worth doing now in Teasley Mead
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. In a small place like Teasley Mead, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
A sash window’s box frame sits in the masonry opening. The gap round it is pointed with sand mastic.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked, so their mastic can fail sooner. We rake it out and renew it.
