How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Lenham Forstal?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.

Do you need sand mastic in Lenham Forstal?
Timber frames move with the seasons. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
If you look after a building such as The Lenham School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Sand mastic in Lenham Forstal: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Lenham station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
