How we handle sand mastic in Hammill Park
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. We work on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and tenement windows, and people most often call us about gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and failed mastic on an exposed elevation.
Somewhere as small as Hammill Park, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

When to call us in Hammill Park
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open joints round the window box
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eastry Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Frames and glazing around Hammill Park
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 2.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hammill Park as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Sandwich station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
Common questions in Hammill Park
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Hammill Park?
Yes, Hammill Park is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
Not straight away. It skins first and hardens fully later and we will give you an idea for your job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
What exactly is sand mastic?
It’s the traditional filler for the joint round timber windows and doors. It’s made with sand and a linseed-oil-based binder.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before pointing.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked and the mastic can crack early. We rake it out and renew it.
What affects the cost of sand mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a small place like Hammill Park, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
