About our sand mastic in Palestine
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder and built up by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. If you are dealing with patchy fillers round a sash window and open joints round the window box, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Palestine is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we’re called out for in Palestine
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Questions from Palestine
Will you come out to Palestine?
Yes. Palestine is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do sand mastic in Palestine?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Palestine is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Palestine?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.

Sand mastic in Palestine: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Idmiston Manor (about 4.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Palestine as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Grateley Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Palestine 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.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
