Framfield Sand Mastic
Our applicators work in Framfield on traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
Sand mastic in Framfield
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and does not suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. If you have mastic dropping out of the joint and mastic round period door frames that has failed, we can help, on timber door frames, tenement windows and stone surrounds alike.
Somewhere as small as Framfield, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Windows and doors in Framfield
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Uckfield station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Schools such as Framfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It suits older brickwork.
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. We renew it the same way as on windows.

Advice
Framfield: your questions answered
Do you cover Framfield for sand mastic?
Yes, Framfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Framfield?
Yes. Framfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
Not right away. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later and we will give you an idea for your job.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
We will help you decide. Period homes often look best with sand mastic, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What happens if it’s left?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. In a small place like Framfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Signs you need sand mastic in Framfield
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer does not hold well so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
For an older house near a landmark such as St Thomas à Becket Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
