DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What sand mastic looks like in Woodland
London and the South East are among 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 Acrise Place (about 2.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woodland as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Westenhanger station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Historic houses such as Acrise Place, about 2.9 miles east, show how far back building around Woodland goes.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before the new mastic goes in.
Tenement and terrace windows
Upper-floor windows need access planning. Tell us the height and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a single window, longer for several, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Woodland, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- 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.

Will you come out to Woodland?
Yes, we do. 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.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can sand mastic be painted?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Other services in Woodland
Why act early in Woodland
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. Around Woodland, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

When to call us in Woodland
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Open joints round the window box
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
Managing a site like Lyminge Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
