Sand mastic in Norlington
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and is not always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. We are often asked to deal with gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and crumbling sand mastic round a window, across brick reveals, sash and case windows and tenement windows.
Around Norlington, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look 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.
Your questions about sand mastic in Norlington

Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish but the decision is theirs.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
We’ll talk it through with you. Sand mastic suits many period homes, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

Norlington homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Glyndebourne (about 1.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Norlington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Lewes station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It suits older brickwork.
Why it’s worth doing now in Norlington
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants do not always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. Around Norlington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
