What sand mastic looks like in Udimore
Historic houses like Lamb House (about 3.4 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Udimore 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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Udimore is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Udimore
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. We work on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Udimore is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What happens if it’s left?
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. In a small place like Udimore, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Upper-floor windows need access planning. Tell us the height and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Stone surrounds
Sand mastic sits naturally against stone. The finish blends with the masonry.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Udimore needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Getting ready for the visit

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
