Sand Mastic in Annanhill
Traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick in Annanhill, with a one-year guarantee on every job. Ask us for a quote.
- Open joints round the window box
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
How we handle sand mastic in Annanhill
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead and we will explain which is best for yours. We work on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and brick reveals, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and gaps where the frame meets the masonry.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in Annanhill
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Annanhill
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Around Annanhill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Windows and doors in Annanhill
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Kilmarnock station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Historic houses such as Carnell Estate, about 4.7 miles south-east, show how far back building around Annanhill goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Outside jobs in Annanhill need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
