Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Knotty Green
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. Typical jobs include failed mastic on an exposed elevation and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, on sash and case windows, tenement windows and stone surrounds.
Somewhere as small as Knotty Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Knotty Green homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Cliveden (about 4.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Knotty 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.
Managing a site like St Mary and All Saints CofE Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Broken panes
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Timber that has rotted
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Sash and case windows
- Tenement windows
- Brick reveals
- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Knotty Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Do not touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
