Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Burgh Heath
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. We are often asked to deal with crumbling sand mastic round a window and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, across stone surrounds, sash and case windows and period & listed homes.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Burgh Heath is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Should I try it myself first?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Burgh Heath, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Why act early in Burgh Heath
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. Around Burgh Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Sash and case windows
A sash window’s box frame sits in the masonry opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Windows and doors in Burgh Heath
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Fitznells Manor (about 3.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burgh Heath as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aberdour School, 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, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Kingswood station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
