Sand mastic in West Chiltington
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. If you have a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around West Chiltington is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.

Why act early in West Chiltington
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Chiltington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Frames and glazing around West Chiltington
Historic houses like Old Place Manor (about 2.8 miles west) are a reminder that the area around West Chiltington has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Schools such as West Chiltington Community Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
