Salvington homes and the weather
Salvington is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to West Worthing station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Homes close to St Symphorian's Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Sand mastic in Salvington, done properly
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you have old cement repairs round a window that have failed and modern sealant on a period surround, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In smaller places like Salvington, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Salvington and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Salvington
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. If you are redecorating, ask us first.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Cracked or broken glass
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Stone surrounds
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
- Tenement windows
- Timber door frames
What the job involves on each surface
Brick reveals
Brick reveals round timber windows are often pointed with sand mastic. It suits older brickwork.
Period and listed homes
Many older homes were built with sand mastic round the windows. If your home is listed, ask your local planning authority about consent.
Do you need sand mastic in Salvington?
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer doesn’t hold well, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Open joints round the window box
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
If you look after a building such as Durrington Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Why it’s worth doing now in Salvington
New mastic over crumbling mastic will not hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Homes in smaller places like Salvington can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

How we quote for sand mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

FAQs for Salvington
Is Salvington within the area you cover?
Yes, Salvington is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Salvington?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
