Windows and doors in Twineham Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Ockenden Manor (about 3.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Twineham Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Burgess Hill station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Twineham Green
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. Typical jobs include old cement repairs round a window that have failed and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, on sash and case windows, brick reveals and tenement windows.
In a village or hamlet like Twineham Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Masonry that needs repairing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Twineham Green
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
- Timber door frames
- Sash and case windows
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds
What happens if it’s left?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. In a small place like Twineham Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- We are fully insured
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Common problems we fix in Twineham Green
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not suit the joint and we normally remove them.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Open joints round the window box
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
Schools such as Twineham CofE Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
