Sand mastic in Statenborough: local notes
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. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 4.2 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Statenborough has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Sandwich Technology School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St George, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Statenborough
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it so the surround looks right again. If you have old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, we can put it right, on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows alike.
Somewhere as small as Statenborough, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for sand mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It suits older brickwork.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked and the mastic can crack early. We rake it out and renew it.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for a single window, longer for several, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Statenborough needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.

Why deal with it now?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Around Statenborough, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
