Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Gaps between frame and brick let in rain and draughts. Renewing the mastic closes it.
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We can do one window or several.
About our sand mastic in Hothfield
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on brick reveals, period & listed homes and stone surrounds, and the jobs we see most are gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and cracked mastic round a front door frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hothfield is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere as small as Hothfield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Hothfield homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Godinton House (about 1 mile south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hothfield as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Charing station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hayesbrook School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Brick reveals
- Sash and case windows
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Get any rot dealt with first
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry so early renewal protects both.

Common problems we fix in Hothfield
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hothfield
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new work lasts. In a small place like Hothfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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 the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
