How we handle sand mastic in Erriottwood
We work across Erriottwood renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you’re dealing with window mastic to renew ahead of painting and mastic dropping out of the joint, we can help.
Homes in small places like Erriottwood often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Your questions about sand mastic in Erriottwood
Do you cover smaller places like Erriottwood?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Teynham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can I paint the new mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we will talk you through it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Putty and glazing repairs
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why act early in Erriottwood
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. Older cottages and farmhouses around Erriottwood can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Frames and glazing around Erriottwood
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Erriottwood 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Teynham station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. If you look after a building such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
