How we handle sand mastic in Bexon
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We work on tenement windows, timber door frames and brick reveals, and the jobs we see most are patchy fillers round a sash window and mastic round period door frames that has failed.
In a village or hamlet like Bexon, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Bexon and across Kent.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How the job changes by surface
Stone surrounds
Sand mastic sits naturally against stone. The finish blends with the masonry.
Sash and case windows
A sash window’s box frame sits in the masonry opening. The gap round it is pointed with sand mastic.
When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Whether work needs listed building consent
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
- Timber door frames
- Stone surrounds
Why deal with it now?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Paint over cracked mastic will not stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bexon can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Do you need sand mastic in Bexon?
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. That movement opens up the mastic joint little by little.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.
