How we handle sand mastic in Newington
Across Newington, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We work on timber door frames, period & listed homes and sash and case windows, and common reasons people get in touch are a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and mastic round period door frames that has failed.
Many houses in smaller places like Newington have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Windows and doors in Newington
Newington is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Quex Park (about 3.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Newington has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Ramsgate station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Schools such as Ramsgate Arts Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. For a job in Newington, 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 start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Why act early in Newington
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In an older home around Newington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
