FAQs for Hoaden
Is Hoaden within the area you cover?

Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish, but they decide.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Hoaden
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. Common call-outs are for a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and mastic dropping out of the joint, on period & listed homes, timber door frames and brick reveals.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Hoaden is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Hoaden, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Get any rot dealt with first
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Period & listed homes
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Brick reveals
Why deal with it now?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hoaden can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
Frames and glazing around Hoaden
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 3.4 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Hoaden has older buildings as well as new. 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Minster station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. If you live in an older home near Elmstone Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
