- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several for a typical job. In a small place like Ugley Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Sand mastic in Ugley Green
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. Typical jobs include draughty sash windows at the surround and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, on sash and case windows, tenement windows and stone surrounds.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Ugley Green is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Tenement and terrace windows
Tenements and terraces often have many sash windows with ageing mastic. We can do one window or several.

Sand mastic in Ugley Green: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Horham Hall (about 4.2 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ugley 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.
Managing a site like Forest Hall School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Elsenham station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly but needs longer to fully harden.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.

Can I do it myself?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ugley Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
