Burwash homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Bateman's (about 0.8 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burwash as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Stonegate station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Managing a site like Burwash CofE School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why act early in Burwash
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Burwash, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burwash
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Questions from Burwash
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stonegate station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Burwash in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Burwash is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
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.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Burwash, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

When to call us in Burwash
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
The most common problems we see are:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep timber frames painted
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
