Sand mastic in Wallcrouch
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and brick reveals, and the jobs we see most are gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and old cement repairs round a window that have failed.
Around Wallcrouch, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why act early in Wallcrouch
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. In a small place like Wallcrouch, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Every job guaranteed for a year

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Windows and doors in Wallcrouch
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Wadhurst Castle (about 2.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Wallcrouch 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.
If you live in an older home near Shover's Green Baptist Chapel, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Stonegate station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?

Common problems we fix in Wallcrouch
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and loosens it further. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
If you look after a building such as Stonegate Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
