- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
Why act early in Eyhorne Street
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic will not stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Around Eyhorne Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Eyhorne Street
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. If you’re dealing with cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, we can help.
Around Eyhorne Street, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Eyhorne Street and everywhere else we cover.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How the job changes 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.
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours, so check who is responsible first.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
- Sash and case windows
- Stone surrounds
- Tenement windows
- Timber door frames
Signs you need sand mastic in Eyhorne Street
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
Look out for these signs:
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
Managing a site like Hollingbourne Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site

Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Sand mastic in Eyhorne Street: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Leeds Castle (about 0.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Eyhorne Street 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.
Homes close to All Saints Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Hollingbourne station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
