Frames and glazing around Slindon
With historic houses such as Bignor Roman Villa (about 4.3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Slindon as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Slindon CofE Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Barnham station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

About our sand mastic in Slindon
We work across Slindon renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you have old cement repairs round a window that have failed and modern sealant on a period surround, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Slindon, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why act early in Slindon
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Slindon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a small place like Slindon, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry so early renewal protects both.
Signs you need sand mastic in Slindon
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer doesn’t hold well so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Open joints round the window box
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
