About our sand mastic in Auchinraith
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on tenement windows, stone surrounds and sash and case windows, and people most often call us about mastic dropping out of the joint and window mastic to renew ahead of painting.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Auchinraith depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

What else we do in Auchinraith
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick reveals
Brick reveals round timber windows are often pointed with sand mastic. It gives a traditional finish.
Stone surrounds
The stone is treated with care while raking out the old mastic.
Why deal with it now?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints in most cases. Outside jobs in Auchinraith 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.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Common questions in Auchinraith
Is Auchinraith within the area you cover?

Is Auchinraith in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Auchinraith is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Usually, yes. Once the silicone is out and the joint prepared we point it with sand mastic.
Can sand mastic be painted?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Ask us before decorating.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It takes a while. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later, and we will tell you what to expect.
Frames and glazing around Auchinraith

If you look after a building such as John Ogilvie High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Blantyre station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
