Advice
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Hodsoll Street
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. Common call-outs are for mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and cracked mastic round a front door frame, on brick reveals, tenement windows and sash and case windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Hodsoll Street is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. In a small place like Hodsoll Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Frames and glazing around Hodsoll Street
With historic houses such as Cobham College (about 4.5 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hodsoll Street as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Meopham station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Schools such as Culverstone Green Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What exactly is sand mastic?

How much does sand mastic cost in Hodsoll Street?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. If you’re redecorating, ask us first.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
