Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
About our sand mastic in Tendring Green
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. Typical jobs include cracked mastic round a front door frame and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, on stone surrounds, timber door frames and brick reveals.
In a village or hamlet like Tendring Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Do you need sand mastic in Tendring Green?
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not suit the joint, and they usually need raking out.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
Homes close to Church of St Edmund include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Frames and glazing around Tendring Green
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Thorpe Hall (about 3.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tendring Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Weeley station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Schools such as Tendring Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Tendring Green questions
Can you do sand mastic in Tendring Green?
Yes, Tendring Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Weeley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Often, yes. With the silicone removed and the joint cleaned we point it with sand mastic.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
Sand mastic usually suits period timber windows best. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we’ll explain why.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Timber that has rotted
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Timber door frames
- Brick reveals
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. It finishes to look like part of the surround.
Why act early in Tendring Green
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tendring Green, 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: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
