Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Hoath
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. Typical jobs include a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and patchy fillers round a sash window, on timber door frames, period & listed homes and brick reveals.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Hoath is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
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 act early in Hoath
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hoath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Hoath
Most of it is simply age. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
The most common problems we see are:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
If you look after a building such as Hoath Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Avoid painting over the new mastic, which is the traditional advice. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
Common questions in Hoath
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Hoath?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is Hoath within the area you cover?
Yes. Hoath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
That depends on your windows. Period windows in stone or brick generally suit sand mastic, while modern frames normally get a flexible sealant.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
What affects the quote in Hoath
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What sand mastic looks like in Hoath
Hoath is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Homes close to Church of the Holy Cross include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Herne Bay station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
Hoath is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Every kind of property in Hoath is covered for sand mastic. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. 922 places in Kent are on our list. Chelmsford is on our list too, about 40 miles from Hoath.
Work in CT3 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Sand mastic is available to properties on Church Road, Marley Lane and Barn Close. If you’re just outside Hoath, we cover Maypole (1 mile north), Knave's Ash (1 mile west), Old Tree (1 mile north-east), Millbank (1 mile north) and Hollow Street (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (5 miles south-west), Margate (10 miles east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Ramsgate (11 miles east), Broadstairs (12 miles east) and Whitstable (6 miles west).

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Hoath, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
