Sand mastic in Titsey, done properly
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. Typical jobs include wind and rain getting in round a sash window and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, on timber door frames, sash and case windows and stone surrounds.
Somewhere as small as Titsey, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why deal with it now?
New sash windows are a major, costly change, and in listed buildings it may need consent. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Titsey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

What sand mastic looks like in Titsey
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Titsey Place (about 0.3 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Titsey 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.
If you let a flat or house near Oxted station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. If you live in an older home near Church of St James the Greater, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Titsey, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
