About our sand mastic in Stick Hill
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 have mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, we can put it right, on sash and case windows, brick reveals and period & listed homes alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Stick Hill is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Stick Hill and everywhere else we cover.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Stick Hill can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Stick Hill 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 look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

When to call us in Stick Hill
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Open joints round the window box
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stick Hill
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stick Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Frames and glazing around Stick Hill
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Hever Castle (about 1.5 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stick Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Hever station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly but needs longer to fully harden.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
