How we handle sand mastic in Boughton Monchelsea
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on period & listed homes, timber door frames and brick reveals, and people most often call us about gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and mastic round period door frames that has failed.
Somewhere as small as Boughton Monchelsea, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
When will the new mastic be hard?

What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Boughton Monchelsea?

Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look

Why act early in Boughton Monchelsea
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Boughton Monchelsea, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
