About our sand mastic in Broomer's Corner
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames usually get a flexible sealant instead, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. Common call-outs are for draughty sash windows at the surround and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, across stone surrounds, period & listed homes and brick reveals.
Homes in small places like Broomer's Corner often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Frames and glazing around Broomer's Corner
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as William Penn School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Mission Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Broomer's Corner
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several for a typical job. Somewhere like Broomer's Corner needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
