Sand mastic for sash & case windows in Plumpton, East Sussex
Our applicators work in Plumpton on traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Sand mastic in Plumpton, done properly
Sand mastic doesn’t last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. If you are dealing with silicone on a period window that looks wrong and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, we can help.
Homes in small places like Plumpton often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Older cottages and farmhouses around Plumpton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
