Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Norney
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We work on tenement windows, sash and case windows and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are window mastic to renew ahead of painting and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Norney is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor 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.

Windows and doors in Norney
With historic houses such as Loseley Park (about 2.5 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Norney as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Common questions in Norney
Do you work for landlords with property near Godalming station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Norney within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s sand mastic made of?
Sand plus a binder based on linseed oil. It’s built up in the joint by hand and shaped to suit the surround.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What happens if it’s left?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Older cottages and farmhouses around Norney can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
