Knockholt Pound questions
Do you cover Knockholt Pound for sand mastic?
Yes, Knockholt Pound 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, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Knockholt Pound?
Yes. Knockholt Pound is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can sand mastic be painted?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. If you’re redecorating the window, ask us first and we’ll advise.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It forms a skin fairly soon and it hardens fully over a longer time. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.

Why act early in Knockholt Pound
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. In a small place like Knockholt Pound, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What sand mastic looks like in Knockholt Pound

Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
