Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Blean
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with 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 old cement repairs round a window that have failed and mastic round period door frames that has failed, across timber door frames, sash and case windows and tenement windows.
In a village or hamlet like Blean, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.

Why act early in Blean

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
