Windows and doors in Woolage Green
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woolage Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Snowdown station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Sand mastic in Woolage Green, done properly
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. We work on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and brick reveals, and people most often call us about gaps where the frame meets the masonry and old cement repairs round a window that have failed.
Around Woolage Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Woolage Green and everywhere else we cover.

Your questions about sand mastic in Woolage Green
Will you come out to Woolage Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Snowdown station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Ask us before decorating.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

Do you need sand mastic in Woolage Green?
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
How the job changes by surface
Period and listed homes
Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice for many period homes. If your home is listed, ask your local planning authority about consent.
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside so we finish it carefully.
Leave it or put it right?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. Around Woolage Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We leave the area clean and tidy

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
