How we handle sand mastic in Waldron
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames usually get a flexible sealant instead, and we will talk through which suits your home. If you’re dealing with gaps where the frame meets the masonry and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can put it right.
Homes in small places like Waldron often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

What sand mastic looks like in Waldron
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.
Homes close to The Parish Church of All Saints include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.

Can you quote for more than one area?

What guarantee comes with the work?

Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we’ll explain why.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.

There’s no set price list. What we look at:

- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint

The job normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What the job involves on each surface
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the gap is not the same all the way round. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
