About our sand mastic in Hound Green
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. Typical jobs include draughty sash windows at the surround and crumbling sand mastic round a window, across stone surrounds, brick reveals and timber door frames.
Around Hound Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.
Leave it or put it right?
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. In a small place like Hound Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Windows and doors in Hound Green
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. With historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (about 2.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hound Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Mattingley Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a village or hamlet like Hound Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Questions from Hound Green
Do you cover Hound Green for sand mastic?
Yes, Hound Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Normally, yes. With the silicone removed and the joint cleaned, sand mastic is applied by hand.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Ask us before decorating.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
