Sand mastic in Parkgate: local notes
With historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (about 3.7 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Parkgate as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Sand mastic in Parkgate
Across Parkgate, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you have mastic round period door frames that has failed and draughty sash windows at the surround, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Parkgate often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Parkgate
How the visit 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 a few hours for a single window, longer for several from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Parkgate, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. The finish blends with the masonry.
Leave it or put it right?
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. In a small place like Parkgate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
