Sand mastic in Fleeden, done properly
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. If you’re dealing with silicone on a period window that looks wrong and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can put it right.
Around Fleeden, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. 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.

Quotes for sand mastic in Fleeden
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Cracked or broken glass
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Tenement windows

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Fleeden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Why act early in Fleeden
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fleeden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Windows and doors in Fleeden
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Godinton House (about 2.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fleeden 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 cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Schools such as John Wallis Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
