Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Nonington
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we will advise if you are redecorating. Common call-outs are for mastic round period door frames that has failed and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, on stone surrounds, period & listed homes and timber door frames.
Somewhere as small as Nonington, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Nonington questions
Is Nonington within the area you cover?
Yes, Nonington is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Nonington for sand mastic?
Yes, Nonington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can sand mastic be painted?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere like Nonington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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 is not too thick.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Frames and glazing around Nonington
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 1.4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Nonington as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Aylesham station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How we quote for sand mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
If you’re in Nonington and need sand mastic, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Do you need sand mastic in Nonington?
Most of it is simply age. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Open joints round the window box
Schools such as Nonington Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Damaged stone surrounds
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and commercial work in Nonington
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Nonington and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.
