What sand mastic looks like in Tudeley
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.
If you look after a building such as The Schools at Somerhill, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Tonbridge station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Tudeley
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We work on tenement windows, brick reveals and period & listed homes, and common reasons people get in touch are crumbling sand mastic round a window and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows.
Around Tudeley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Landlords and letting agents in Tudeley can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Your questions about sand mastic in Tudeley
Is Tudeley within the area you cover?
Yes, Tudeley is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Tonbridge station. Can you help?

Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll advise.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It skins over fairly quickly but takes longer to harden fully. We will explain what to expect before we leave.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. For a village or hamlet like Tudeley, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before pointing.
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show so we finish it carefully.
Common problems we fix in Tudeley
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not move with the timber, and they generally need raking out.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
What happens if it’s left?
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tudeley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
