About our sand mastic in Woolage Village
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. If you have gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and patchy fillers round a sash window, we can help, on sash and case windows, tenement windows and stone surrounds alike.
Somewhere as small as Woolage Village, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Woolage Village and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Woolage Village needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Woolage Village: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Snowdown station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Woolage Village?
Yes. Woolage Village is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
When will the new mastic be hard?
A skin forms quite soon, but full hardening takes longer. We will tell you what to expect for your job.
Which products 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 you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, it’s a common request. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic can sit properly.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Common problems we fix in Woolage Village
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What sand mastic looks like in Woolage Village
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 2.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woolage Village as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
