Sand mastic in Stalisfield Green
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We work on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and brick reveals, and people most often call us about cracked mastic round a front door frame and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint.
In a village or hamlet like Stalisfield Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
What sand mastic looks like in Stalisfield Green
Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens (about 2.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Stalisfield Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Stalisfield Green 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.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. In a small place like Stalisfield Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
Surface by surface
Sash and case windows
Most of our sand mastic work is on sash windows. We renew the mastic round each box.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked and the mastic can crack early. We rake it out and renew it.

Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Yes, it’s worth checking. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Can sand mastic be painted?

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

For landlords with property near Charing station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
