- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Open joints round the window box
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. If you’re redecorating, ask us first.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
Sand mastic in Wilsley Pound
Across Wilsley Pound, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We’re often asked to deal with crumbling sand mastic round a window and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, across timber door frames, sash and case windows and stone surrounds.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Wilsley Pound is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Letting a property close to Staplehurst station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. If you look after a building such as Cranbrook Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Advice
How we quote for sand mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.

Questions from Wilsley Pound
Can you do sand mastic in Wilsley Pound?
Yes, Wilsley Pound is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Staplehurst station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What guarantee comes with the work?

What exactly is sand mastic?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Sashes that need overhauling
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Signs you need sand mastic in Wilsley Pound
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
