How the job changes by surface
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show, so a neat, even finish matters.
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before pointing.
How we handle sand mastic in Newland Green
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it and we will advise if you are redecorating. Typical jobs include wind and rain getting in round a sash window and patchy fillers round a sash window, on brick reveals, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Newland Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere like Newland Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Get any rot dealt with first
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
What affects the quote in Newland Green
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Why it’s worth doing now in Newland Green
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. In a small place like Newland Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Windows and doors in Newland Green
The South East is one of 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 look after a building such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Pluckley station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. In the older streets around Church of St James, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
