About our sand mastic in Durrant Green
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and is not always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. If you have open joints round the window box and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can help.
Homes in small places like Durrant Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Frames and glazing around Durrant Green
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. With historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (about 4.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Durrant Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Pluckley station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In a small place like Durrant Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, 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 and give you a clear price before work begins.

What we’re called out for in Durrant Green
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
Different surfaces, different methods
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Stone surrounds
The stone is treated with care while raking out the old mastic.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Durrant Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
