Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Sand mastic in New Romney, done properly
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we will talk through which suits your home. We work on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and brick reveals, and the jobs we see most are crumbling sand mastic round a window and modern sealant on a period surround.
In smaller places like New Romney, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

For a job in New Romney, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Common problems we fix in New Romney
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and loosens it further. Exposed elevations generally fail first.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Managing a site like St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Sand mastic in New Romney: local notes
New Romney is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
