Sand Mastic in Barony of Peacockbank
Our applicators work in Barony of Peacockbank on traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Open joints round the window box
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Avoid painting over the new mastic, which is the traditional advice. If you are redecorating, ask us first.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
Sand mastic in Barony of Peacockbank
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder and built up by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. We work on brick reveals, stone surrounds and tenement windows, and common reasons people get in touch are failed mastic on an exposed elevation and cracked mastic round a front door frame.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Barony of Peacockbank depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

When to call us in Barony of Peacockbank
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They do not move with the timber and we normally remove them.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
Schools such as Stewarton Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Frames and glazing around Barony of Peacockbank
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In the older streets around Stewarton Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Stewarton station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
