Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Bogend
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and does not suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. If you’re dealing with mastic round period door frames that has failed and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Bogend is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Windows and doors in Bogend
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. With historic houses such as Carnell Estate (about 4.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bogend as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Kilmarnock station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. If you live in an older home near Symington Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Why act early in Bogend
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. 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.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.

What else we do in Bogend
Bogend: your questions answered
Is Bogend in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bogend is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kilmarnock station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, it’s a common request. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Bogend and the rest of East Ayrshire, along with the rest of our area.
What exactly is sand mastic?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Checking first is sensible. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
Sand mastic usually suits period timber windows best. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Outdoor work around Bogend depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. We renew it the same way as on windows.
