About our sand mastic in Burley
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. Typical jobs include crumbling sand mastic round a window and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, on sash and case windows, tenement windows and period & listed homes.
Somewhere as small as Burley, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

Surface by surface
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours so it’s worth checking responsibilities.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.
FAQs for Burley
Do you cover smaller places like Burley?
Yes. Burley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sway station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What sealant do you use?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Burley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Windows and doors in Burley
With historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House (about 2.3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burley Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Sway station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
