- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Open joints round the window box
Why deal with it now?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. In a small place like Seaton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why Seaton clients choose us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

About our sand mastic in Seaton
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on sash and case windows, timber door frames and tenement windows, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone on a period window that looks wrong and wind and rain getting in round a sash window.
Around Seaton, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Cracked or broken glass

Landlord and commercial work in Seaton
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Seaton, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Do you need sand mastic in Seaton?
Age is the main cause. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
Schools such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, depending on the amount of work.

Seaton homes and the weather
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 3.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Seaton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
