Twitton: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Dunton Green station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Twitton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
We will help you decide. Sand mastic suits many period homes and newer frames suit modern sealant.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What sand mastic looks like in Twitton
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 north) are a reminder that the area around Twitton 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.
If you live in an older home near Twitton Mission Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Dunton Green station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. In a small place like Twitton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Do you need sand mastic in Twitton?
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and loosens it further. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Otford Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere as small as Twitton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
