Sand mastic in Mile Oak
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. If you have patchy fillers round a sash window and modern sealant on a period surround, we can put it right, on brick reveals, timber door frames and period & listed homes alike.
Around Mile Oak, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Around Mile Oak, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We are fully insured

Sand mastic in Mile Oak: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Paddock Wood station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you look after a building such as Mascalls School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In a small place like Mile Oak, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
