Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Woolpack Corner
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you have gaps where the frame meets the masonry and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, we can help, on tenement windows, period & listed homes and brick reveals alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Woolpack Corner is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like Woolpack Corner, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Surface by surface
Period and listed homes
On a listed home or in a conservation area, the right material matters. Like-for-like sand mastic is usually favoured.
Stone surrounds
We take care not to mark the stone when the old mastic comes out.
How we quote for sand mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we are called out for in Woolpack Corner
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. The movement cracks the mastic over time.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
Managing a site like John Mayne Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What happens if it’s left?
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic will not stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woolpack Corner can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Fully insured
- Tidy, careful work
- We never seal over old sealant

What sand mastic looks like in Woolpack Corner
Historic houses like Smallhythe Place (about 5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Woolpack Corner has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Headcorn station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. In the older streets around Parish Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What exactly is sand mastic?
Sand mastic is a traditional material for pointing round windows and doors. It’s made with sand and a linseed-oil-based binder.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It skins over quickly but needs longer to fully harden.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
