About our sand mastic in Offington
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we will talk through which suits your home. Common call-outs are for patchy fillers round a sash window and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, across sash and case windows, tenement windows and period & listed homes.
In a village or hamlet like Offington, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Offington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

When to call us in Offington
Age is the main cause. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
Schools such as Thomas A Becket Junior School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Windows and doors in Offington
Offington is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near West Worthing station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Sash and case windows
- Tenement windows
- Brick reveals
What happens if it’s left?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Offington 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 a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
