How we handle sand mastic in Goose Hill
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you have weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Goose Hill is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Cracked or broken glass
- Timber that has rotted
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Windows and doors in Goose Hill
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ashford Hill Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Thatcham station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Goose Hill questions
Is Goose Hill in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Goose Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Goose Hill?
Yes. Goose Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What the job involves on each surface
Period and listed homes
Materials matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Like-for-like sand mastic is normally favoured.
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. We renew it the same way as on windows.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere as small as Goose Hill, 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.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Around Goose Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
