How we handle sand mastic in Milton Street
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames generally get a flexible sealant instead and we will explain which is best for yours. If you have gaps where the frame meets the masonry and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Milton Street is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Milton Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

Frames and glazing around Milton Street
With historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (about 1.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Milton Street as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Berwick (Sussex) station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. If you live in an older home near St Mary and St Peter's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why it’s worth doing now in Milton Street
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. In a small place like Milton Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, 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.
