About our sand mastic in Wallend
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames usually get a flexible sealant instead and we’ll explain which is best for yours. We’re often asked to deal with a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, across stone surrounds, period & listed homes and tenement windows.
Somewhere as small as Wallend, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

FAQs for Wallend
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Wallend any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
I let a flat near Sheerness-On-Sea station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How much does sand mastic cost in Wallend?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What is sand mastic?
Sand mastic is a traditional material for pointing round windows and doors. It’s made with sand and a linseed-oil-based binder.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like but the decision is theirs.
Why act early in Wallend
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. In a small place like Wallend, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Frames and glazing around Wallend
Wallend is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
If you look after a building such as St James Church of England Primary Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of St James, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What else we do in Wallend
Can I do it myself?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the quote in Wallend
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. For a village or hamlet like Wallend, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
