About our sand mastic in Molash
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames usually get a flexible sealant instead and we will explain which is best for yours. We work on brick reveals, tenement windows and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are failed mastic on an exposed elevation and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked.
Homes in small places like Molash often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What sand mastic looks like in Molash
With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Molash as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Common problems we fix in Molash
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that is too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Rented homes near Wye station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

- How long to leave it before use

Can I do it myself?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Look over the window mastic once a year
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
How we quote for sand mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
Why it’s worth doing now in Molash
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. In a small place like Molash, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
