How we handle sand mastic in Seasalter
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. If you are dealing with wind and rain getting in round a sash window and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Seasalter is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before the new mastic goes in.
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear and the mastic can crack early. It’s renewed by hand.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Seasalter and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Do you need sand mastic in Seasalter?
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not move with the timber and we normally remove them.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Modern sealant on a period surround
If you look after a building such as Joy Lane Primary Foundation School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- How long to leave it before use
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Windows and doors in Seasalter
Seasalter is within about 1 mile of 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Seasalter Christian Centre, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Whitstable station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Why it’s worth doing now in Seasalter
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Older cottages and farmhouses around Seasalter can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What sealant work can’t fix

- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Whether work needs listed building consent
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry so early renewal protects both.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Seasalter needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Seasalter: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Seasalter?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
I let a flat near Whitstable station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Your local planning authority is the one to ask. They’ll tell you if consent is needed for work to your windows.
What’s sand mastic made of?
Sand plus a binder based on linseed oil. It’s built up in the joint by hand and shaped to suit the surround.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
