Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Upper Beeding
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. If you are dealing with open joints round the window box and crumbling sand mastic round a window, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Upper Beeding, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Your questions about sand mastic in Upper Beeding
Do you cover Upper Beeding for sand mastic?
Yes, Upper Beeding is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Upper Beeding within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Often, yes. Once the silicone is out and the joint prepared, sand mastic is applied by hand.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we do, step by step

Why act early in Upper Beeding
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new work lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Beeding can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Sand mastic in Upper Beeding: local notes
Historic houses like Portslade Manor (about 4.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Upper Beeding has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Upper Beeding Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
