About our sand mastic in Wingham Green
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties where a modern sealant bead would stand out. If you have failed mastic on an exposed elevation and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Wingham Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
FAQs for Wingham Green
I let a flat near Adisham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Wingham Green?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Often, yes. Once the silicone is out and the joint prepared we point it with sand mastic.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Wingham Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare

What we are called out for in Wingham Green
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Before you book anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Leave it or put it right?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. In a small place like Wingham Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
