Sand mastic in Lower Burgate
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. We are often asked to deal with cracked mastic round a front door frame and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, on timber door frames, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Lower Burgate is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the quote in Lower Burgate
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Lower Burgate, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Paint over cracked mastic won’t stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Around Lower Burgate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Lower Burgate homes and the weather
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. Historic houses like Breamore House (about 2.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Lower Burgate has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like The Burgate School and Sixth Form? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What we’re called out for in Lower Burgate
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer doesn’t hold well, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
DIY versus a professional finish
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, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
