Sand mastic in East Studdal
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. We are often asked to deal with wind and rain getting in round a sash window and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, across stone surrounds, timber door frames and period & listed homes.
In a village or hamlet like East Studdal, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Sand mastic in East Studdal: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Walmer Castle (about 3.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around East Studdal has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Martin Mill station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you live in an older home near East Studdal Church Hall, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like East Studdal, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How we quote for sand mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Why deal with it now?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In a small place like East Studdal, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.
