How we handle sand mastic in Boughton Lees
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are window mastic to renew ahead of painting and open joints round the window box.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Boughton Lees is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home, and in listed buildings it may need consent. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. Older cottages and farmhouses around Boughton Lees can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Frames and glazing around Boughton Lees
With historic houses such as Godinton House (about 3.4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Boughton Lees as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Christopher's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Wye 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 Towers School and Sixth Form Centre, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a village or hamlet like Boughton Lees, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
