Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Potters Corner
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames generally get a flexible sealant instead and we’ll explain which is best for yours. If you are dealing with silicone on a period window that looks wrong and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, we can help, on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and sash and case windows alike.
Somewhere as small as Potters Corner, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Potters Corner and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Frames and glazing around Potters Corner
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Godinton House (about 1.2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Potters Corner as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Goat Lees Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Ashford International station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Common questions in Potters Corner
Is Potters Corner in your area for sand mastic?

Yes. Potters Corner is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Check with your local planning authority. They’ll tell you if consent is needed for work to your windows.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Potters Corner needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber door frames
Round a period front door, sand mastic gives the right look.
Period and listed homes
Many older homes were built with sand mastic round the windows. On listed buildings, check with your planning authority first.
What happens if it’s left?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. Older cottages and farmhouses around Potters Corner can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
