Sand mastic in Hazel Street, done properly
Across Hazel Street, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We work on sash and case windows, brick reveals and stone surrounds, and the jobs we see most are open joints round the window box and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked.
In a village or hamlet like Hazel Street, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Hazel Street questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Hazel Street in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Hazel Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
It depends on the window. Period windows in stone or brick normally suit sand mastic, while modern frames normally get a flexible sealant.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It takes a while. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later and we will give you an idea for your job.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Landlord and commercial work in Hazel Street
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Hazel Street, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
What we’re called out for in Hazel Street
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
If you look after a building such as Horsmonden Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Surface by surface
Period and listed homes
Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice for many period homes. On listed buildings, check with your planning authority first.
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. The method is the same as for windows.
What affects the quote in Hazel Street
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. We will explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows in most cases. In a small place like Hazel Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Frames and glazing around Hazel Street
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Scotney Castle (about 2.7 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hazel Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Paddock Wood station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
