How we handle sand mastic in Binsted
We work across Binsted renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you are dealing with gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, we can put it right.
Around Binsted, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Binsted and everywhere else we cover.

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.
Do you cover Binsted for sand mastic?
Yes, Binsted is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Yes, it’s worth checking. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Often, yes. With the silicone removed and the joint cleaned we point it with sand mastic.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Bigger jobs take longer.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.

Binsted homes and the weather
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.
Managing a site like Walberton and Binsted CofE Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Ford station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Around Binsted, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
