Sand mastic near Pulborough

Leave it or put it right?

A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. Homes in smaller places like Pulborough can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

About our sand mastic in Pulborough

Sand mastic does not last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. We work on stone surrounds, period & listed homes and brick reveals, and the jobs we see most are window mastic to renew ahead of painting and mastic dropping out of the joint.

Around Pulborough, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.

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.

What sand mastic looks like in Pulborough

Historic houses like Old Place Manor (about 0.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Pulborough has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, 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 joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Pulborough station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
