Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Lower Willingdon
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we will advise if you are redecorating. If you have tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and open joints round the window box, we can put it right.
Many houses in smaller places like Lower Willingdon have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick reveals
- Stone surrounds
- Sash and case windows
- Tenement windows
- Period & listed homes
- Timber door frames
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
Leave it or put it right?
New mastic over crumbling mastic will not hold. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. In an older home around Lower Willingdon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Frames and glazing around Lower Willingdon
With historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (about 4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lower Willingdon as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around St Wilfrid, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Polegate station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
