Burwash Common homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Bateman's (about 1.8 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burwash Common as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
In the older streets around St Philip's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Stonegate station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Putty and glazing repairs

What we seal
- Sash and case windows

Why deal with it now?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Around Burwash Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How the job changes by surface

Burwash Common questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Stonegate station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Burwash Common?
Yes, Burwash Common is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I paint the new mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we will advise.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY versus a professional finish
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Burwash Common, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
