Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Do not touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
Sand mastic in Plumpton Green, done properly
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on timber door frames, tenement windows and stone surrounds, and common reasons people get in touch are draughts and rain around sash boxes and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating.
Homes in small places like Plumpton Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Plumpton Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Around Plumpton Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
