How we handle sand mastic in Hoppers Corner
Sand mastic does not last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. We work on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and timber door frames, and people most often call us about draughty sash windows at the surround and crumbling sand mastic round a window.
Around Hoppers Corner, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we do, step by step
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 a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Hoppers Corner, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Surface by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Tell us the height and we will confirm what’s needed.
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside, so a neat, even finish matters.
Do you need sand mastic in Hoppers Corner?
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint, which is a good time to renew it.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
Schools such as Barming Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Frames and glazing around Hoppers Corner
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Stoneacre (about 4.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hoppers Corner as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to East Farleigh station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Hoppers Corner?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
