How we handle sand mastic in Eyemouth
Across Eyemouth, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you have mastic dropping out of the joint and modern sealant on a period surround, we can help, on timber door frames, stone surrounds and period & listed homes alike.
In and around a place like Eyemouth, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Eyemouth
What affects the cost of sand mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Why deal with it now?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there and that can be important for listed homes. Around Eyemouth, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What you get with us

How the job changes by surface
Brick reveals
Brick reveals round timber windows are often pointed with sand mastic. It suits older brickwork.
Period and listed homes
A traditional finish suits a period property, and sand mastic is one of them.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
Frames and glazing around Eyemouth
Eyemouth is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Around Eyemouth, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you let a flat or house near Reston station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Questions from Eyemouth
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reston station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Eyemouth affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I paint the new mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we will talk you through it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
