Sand mastic in Hook Green, done properly
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. Common call-outs are for failed mastic on an exposed elevation and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, across sash and case windows, brick reveals and timber door frames.
Homes in small places like Hook Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
If you’re 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 Hook Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Landlord and commercial work in Hook Green
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Leave the new mastic unpainted, as traditional guidance advises. If you are redecorating, ask us first.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It takes a while. It skins first and hardens fully later, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
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 the decision is theirs.
What guarantee comes with the work?

Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, it’s a common request. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Sand mastic in Hook Green: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Cobham College (about 3.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hook Green 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.
Schools such as Sedley's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Longfield station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
