About our sand mastic in Kimpton
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We are often asked to deal with draughts and rain around sash boxes and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, across period & listed homes, brick reveals and sash and case windows.
Homes in small places like Kimpton 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Kimpton, 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.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kimpton
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. In a small place like Kimpton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

FAQs for Kimpton
Is Kimpton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Kimpton for sand mastic?
Yes, Kimpton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Yes, it’s worth checking. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What sand mastic looks like in Kimpton
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.
Letting a property close to Grateley station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
