- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting

- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
What we are called out for in Moor Street
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint, which is a good time to renew it.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

About our sand mastic in Moor Street
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on brick reveals, stone surrounds and period & listed homes, and people most often call us about mastic round period door frames that has failed and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Moor Street is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in Moor Street
Do you cover smaller places like Moor Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Moor Street affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
In most cases. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned, then point it with sand mastic.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
We will help you decide. Period homes often look best with sand mastic and newer frames suit modern sealant.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
Not straight away. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job, sand mastic included.

Leave it or put it right?
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Around Moor Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What sand mastic looks like in Moor Street
Moor Street is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Rainham (Kent) station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Schools such as Leigh Academy Rainham are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
