Sand mastic for sash & case windows in Hales Place, Kent
Sand mastic across Hales Place and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
How we handle sand mastic in Hales Place
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. If you have window mastic to renew ahead of painting and mastic round period door frames that has failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Many houses in smaller places like Hales Place have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why deal with it now?
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic won’t stop the gaps and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Around Hales Place, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Windows and doors in Hales Place
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like St Stephen's Junior School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Stephen, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
Sand mastic generally suits period timber windows best. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we’ll explain why.
How much does sand mastic cost in Hales Place?

How long does sand mastic take to harden?
It forms a skin fairly soon, then hardens over a longer period. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a job in Hales Place, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
Do you need sand mastic in Hales Place?
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows, which is a good time to renew it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
For landlords with property near Canterbury West station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
