How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Oare, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

Sand mastic in Oare
We work across Oare renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We work on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and brick reveals, and people most often call us about tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and modern sealant on a period surround.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Oare is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Landlords and agents in Oare can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What happens if it’s left?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. Around Oare, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Signs you need sand mastic in Oare
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time, depending on exposure and upkeep.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Davington Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What insurance they hold
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Oare homes and the weather
Oare is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 4.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Oare as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Oare questions
Is Oare within the area you cover?
Yes, Oare is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Faversham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like, but they decide.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. 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.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
How the job changes by surface
