Sand mastic for Burwash Weald homes and businesses

Sand mastic in Burwash Weald, done properly

Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We’re often asked to deal with draughty sash windows at the surround and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, on period & listed homes, timber door frames and tenement windows.

Around Burwash Weald, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burwash Weald as everywhere else we work.

Burwash Weald homes and the weather

Historic houses like Bateman's (about 0.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Burwash Weald has older buildings as well as new. 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.

Letting a property close to Stonegate station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. If you live in an older home near St Philip's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common questions in Burwash Weald

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stonegate station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Will you come out to Burwash Weald?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Does someone need to be in?

It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

Can new sealant go over the old?

No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?

It depends on the window. On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building and newer frames usually get a flexible sealant.

Is the work guaranteed?

Our one-year guarantee covers every job, sand mastic included.

Can sand mastic be painted?

Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.

Where do you work from?

Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

How we quote for sand mastic

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:

  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • The amount of work
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Whether the work is at height

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • The rough size of the job
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy

For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

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 fails, we can still redo it.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why deal with it now?

Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. In a small place like Burwash Weald, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

The process

All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In a small place like Burwash Weald, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. Each surround is checked first.
  2. We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
  3. Large voids are packed out.
  4. New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
  5. We finish the mastic to a tidy line.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
