About our sand mastic in Meopham
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. We work on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are window mastic to renew ahead of painting and cracked mastic round a front door frame.
Around Meopham, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. In a smaller place like Meopham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Meopham
Is Meopham within the area you cover?
Yes, Meopham is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Meopham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
It depends on the window. Period windows in stone or brick usually suit sand mastic, while modern frames normally get a flexible sealant.
What does sand mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
The surface skins quite quickly, then hardens over a longer period. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Parking around Meopham is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Timber that has rotted
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Timber door frames
- Sash and case windows
- Tenement windows

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Do not touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Meopham homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Cobham College (about 1.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Meopham has older buildings as well as new. 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.
If you look after a building such as Meopham Community Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Meopham station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. In the older streets around Parish Church of St John the Baptist, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
