About our sand mastic in Foxendown
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. If you have mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and gaps round a timber door in stone or brick, we can help, on tenement windows, sash and case windows and timber door frames alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Foxendown is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Foxendown
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
If you look after a building such as Meopham Community Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What else we do in Foxendown
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How we quote for sand mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic won’t stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Foxendown, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What sand mastic looks like in Foxendown
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Cobham College (about 1.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Foxendown has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Sole Street station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
