Windows and doors in Goodley Stock
With historic houses such as Chartwell (about 1 mile east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Goodley Stock 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 is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Hurst Green station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How we handle sand mastic in Goodley Stock
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. We work on sash and case windows, timber door frames and tenement windows, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and draughty sash windows at the surround.
Around Goodley Stock, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

- Cracked or broken glass
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Decayed frames that need repair
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.

Advice
Goodley Stock: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Hurst Green station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Goodley Stock?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Ask us before decorating.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
We’ll talk it through with you. Sand mastic suits many period homes and newer frames suit modern sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It skins over fairly quickly but takes longer to harden fully. We’ll tell you what to expect for your job.
Why act early in Goodley Stock
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Goodley Stock, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
