Sand mastic for East Hill and the surrounding area: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.

- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
Sand mastic in East Hill, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and is not always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on sash and case windows, tenement windows and period & listed homes, and common reasons people get in touch are old cement repairs round a window that have failed and mastic dropping out of the joint.
Somewhere as small as East Hill, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Hill
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. In a small place like East Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Surface by surface
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the gap is not the same all the way round. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked and the mastic can crack early. It’s renewed by hand.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Frames and glazing around East Hill
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Lullingstone Castle (about 2.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around East Hill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Shoreham (Kent) station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Signs you need sand mastic in East Hill
Age is the main cause. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Open joints round the window box
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?

In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Can you quote for more than one area?

Can you work on commercial sites?

Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
