Sand mastic in Rowhook
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we will explain which is best for yours. If you have draughty sash windows at the surround and mastic dropping out of the joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Rowhook, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Do you need sand mastic in Rowhook?
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. The movement cracks the mastic little by little.
Look out for these signs:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
Rented homes near Warnham station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Farlington School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rowhook
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. Around Rowhook, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
