How we handle sand mastic in Ebbsfleet
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. Common call-outs are for window mastic to renew ahead of painting and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, across tenement windows, sash and case windows and stone surrounds.
In a village or hamlet like Ebbsfleet, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Ebbsfleet as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Ebbsfleet
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. Around Ebbsfleet, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Different surfaces, different methods
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show so we finish it carefully.
Brick reveals
An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. New mastic seals the gap.

Windows and doors in Ebbsfleet
Ebbsfleet is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Historic houses such as Quex Park, about 3.8 miles north, show how far back building around Ebbsfleet goes. Rented homes near Thanet Parkway station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
