How we handle sand mastic in Aingers Green
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. If you have gaps where the frame meets the masonry and window mastic to renew ahead of painting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Aingers Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Aingers Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Great Bentley station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Aingers Green?
Yes, Aingers Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What is sand mastic?
Sand plus a binder based on linseed oil. It’s applied by hand and shaped to suit the surround.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
When to call us in Aingers Green
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They do not suit the joint, and they normally need raking out.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Open joints round the window box
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Advice
What sand mastic looks like in Aingers Green
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Thorpe Hall (about 4.1 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Aingers Green 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’s traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Great Bentley station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. If you look after a building such as Great Bentley Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What else we do in Aingers Green
Why deal with it now?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Aingers Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Timber that has rotted
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Brick reveals
- Sash and case windows
- Stone surrounds
- Period & listed homes
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Do not touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.
