Sand mastic in Chiddingly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. We work on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and timber door frames, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the frame meets the masonry and crumbling sand mastic round a window.
Somewhere as small as Chiddingly, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chiddingly can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How much does sand mastic cost in Chiddingly?

Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you quote for more than one area?

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.

What sand mastic looks like in Chiddingly
With historic houses such as Horselunges Manor (about 2.7 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chiddingly 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. In the older streets around The Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
