Questions from Horden
Is Horden in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Horden is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Horden?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, sand mastic included.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
It depends on the window. Period windows in stone or brick usually suit sand mastic and newer frames usually get a flexible sealant.
Can sand mastic be painted?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Ask us before decorating.
About our sand mastic in Horden
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. Typical jobs include gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, on stone surrounds, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
Somewhere as small as Horden, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Signs you need sand mastic in Horden

- Crumbling sand mastic round a window

For landlords with property near Marden station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. We renew it the same way as on windows.
Brick reveals
An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. Renewing the mastic closes it.

Horden homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Colliers Green Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. For a village or hamlet like Horden, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
