Sand mastic in Wouldham
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it so the surround looks right again. We work on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows, and people most often call us about mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Wouldham is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Wouldham: your questions answered
Do you cover Wouldham for sand mastic?
Yes, Wouldham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Wouldham?
Yes, Wouldham is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Why act early in Wouldham
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home and on a listed home, consent may be needed. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wouldham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Quotes for sand mastic in Wouldham
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Wouldham, 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.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Wouldham homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Starkey Castle (about 0.9 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wouldham 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.
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Halling station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you look after a building such as Halling Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
