Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Norton Ash
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We are often asked to deal with silicone on a period window that looks wrong and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, across timber door frames, stone surrounds and brick reveals.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Norton Ash is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Why act early in Norton Ash
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Norton Ash can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows in most cases. In a small place like Norton Ash, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Windows and doors in Norton Ash
Norton Ash is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Norton Ash: your questions answered
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Norton Ash any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will you come out to Norton Ash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
