Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Do not paint over the new mastic
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. If you are redecorating, ask us first.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.
How we handle sand mastic in Busbridge
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. If you are dealing with mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Busbridge is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Busbridge and everywhere else we cover.

Quotes for sand mastic in Busbridge
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Busbridge questions
Do you cover Busbridge for sand mastic?

Will you come out to Busbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
We will help you decide. Sand mastic suits many period homes, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Generally, yes. Once the silicone is out and the joint prepared, sand mastic is applied by hand.

Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.

Look out for any of the following:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Open joints round the window box

Why it’s worth doing now in Busbridge
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. In a small place like Busbridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Windows and doors in Busbridge
London and the South East are among the drier parts 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 Loseley Park (about 2.7 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Busbridge as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Busbridge Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to St John the Baptist Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
