About our sand mastic in Middle Stoke
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we’ll explain which is best for yours. Common call-outs are for window mastic to renew ahead of painting and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, on timber door frames, sash and case windows and period & listed homes.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Middle Stoke is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a small place like Middle Stoke, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sand mastic in Middle Stoke: local notes
Middle Stoke is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stoke Primary Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Whether work needs listed building consent
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.
What happens if it’s left?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Around Middle Stoke, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
