Sand mastic in Almodington, done properly
Across Almodington, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you have mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and modern sealant on a period surround, we can help, on timber door frames, period & listed homes and tenement windows alike.
In a village or hamlet like Almodington, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. It finishes to look like part of the surround.
What sand mastic looks like in Almodington
Almodington is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Earnley Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Chichester station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Leave it or put it right?
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic will not stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Around Almodington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Almodington questions
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Almodington?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
I let a flat near Chichester station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How much does sand mastic cost in Almodington?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
We’ll talk it through with you. Period homes often look best with sand mastic, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
