Sand mastic in Goddington, done properly
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we will advise if you’re redecorating. Typical jobs include open joints round the window box and gaps round a timber door in stone or brick, on stone surrounds, timber door frames and period & listed homes.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Goddington
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
In the older streets around Christ Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In Goddington, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- 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.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How we quote for sand mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
Why act early in Goddington
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Can you do sand mastic in Goddington?

Do you work for landlords with property near Chelsfield station?

Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sand mastic in Goddington: 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 Down House (about 3.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Goddington 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.
Letting a property close to Chelsfield station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Highway Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
