Landlord and commercial work in Woodhatch
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Woodhatch
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we’ll explain which is best for yours. If you’re dealing with gaps where the frame meets the masonry and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Woodhatch 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Period and listed homes
A traditional finish suits a period property.
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. We renew it the same way as on windows.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a village or hamlet like Woodhatch, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need sand mastic in Woodhatch
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and loosens it further. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Open joints round the window box
Historic houses such as Knole House, about 3 miles north, show how far back building around Woodhatch goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sand mastic in Woodhatch: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Knole House (about 3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woodhatch as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Weald Community Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Hildenborough station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Woodhatch questions
I let a flat near Hildenborough station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Woodhatch within the area you cover?
Yes, Woodhatch is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
A skin forms quite soon, but full hardening takes longer. We will explain what to expect before we leave.
How much does sand mastic cost in Woodhatch?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
In most cases. We remove the silicone and clean the joint before the sand mastic goes in.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
