About our sand mastic in Foley Park
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place 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’re dealing with patchy fillers round a sash window and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, we can help, on brick reveals, period & listed homes and timber door frames alike.
In a smaller place like Foley Park, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. We renew it the same way as on windows.
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It suits older brickwork.
What happens if it’s left?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Homes in smaller places like Foley Park can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Sand mastic in Foley Park: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Stoneacre (about 2.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Foley Park 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Luke, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Maidstone East station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Managing a site like St Paul's Infant School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a job in Foley Park, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we will advise.
What is sand mastic?
It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder. It’s applied by hand and finished to sit neatly against the masonry.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Your local planning authority is the one to ask. They decide whether consent is needed.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
