Paddock Wood questions
Will you come out to Paddock Wood?
Yes, Paddock Wood is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Paddock Wood for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Paddock Wood is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I paint the new mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
About our sand mastic in Paddock Wood
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you have tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, we can put it right, on tenement windows, brick reveals and period & listed homes alike.
Homes around Paddock Wood range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Do you need sand mastic in Paddock Wood?
Some old mastic was never deep enough. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
If you look after a building such as Paddock Wood Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job

What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints

- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

- Period & listed homes
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows

What happens if it’s left?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. In an older home around Paddock Wood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
