About our sand mastic in Bramfield

We work on tenement windows, period & listed homes and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are window mastic to renew ahead of painting and cracked mastic round a front door frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Bramfield is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.

Bramfield homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Digswell House (about 3.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Bramfield 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.
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like The Sele School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bramfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Common problems we fix in Bramfield
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They do not suit the joint and we normally remove them.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
Letting a property close to Watton-At-Stone station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
