Sand mastic in Tilbury Juxta Clare, done properly
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked mastic round a front door frame and modern sealant on a period surround.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Tilbury Juxta Clare is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we quote for sand mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

What else we do in Tilbury Juxta Clare
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Timber that has rotted
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Tenement windows
- Brick reveals
- Sash and case windows
- Timber door frames
What sand mastic looks like in Tilbury Juxta Clare
Historic houses like Hedingham Castle (about 3 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Tilbury Juxta Clare 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’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Margaret include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Do you need sand mastic in Tilbury Juxta Clare?
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
If you look after a building such as St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What happens if it’s left?
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Around Tilbury Juxta Clare, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
