Frames and glazing around Swanley Village
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Lullingstone Castle (about 3.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Swanley Village 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.
Rented homes near Swanley station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. In the older streets around Church of Saint Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant.
How long does sand mastic take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
It takes a while. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later and we’ll give you an idea for your job.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you need sand mastic in Swanley Village?
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Open joints round the window box
If you look after a building such as Downsview Community Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Surface by surface
Timber door frames
Round a period front door, sand mastic gives the right look.
Period and listed homes
Period homes look their best with traditional materials.
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. Older cottages and farmhouses around Swanley Village can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
