Sand Mastic in Fisherton
Professional sand mastic in and around Fisherton, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It skins over quickly but needs longer to fully harden.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
About our sand mastic in Fisherton
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. We’re often asked to deal with tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, on timber door frames, stone surrounds and brick reveals.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)

What sand mastic looks like in Fisherton
Fisherton is within about 1 mile of 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.
If you let a flat or house near Maybole station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Homes close to Kirkbride Old Parish Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Fisherton is about 6 miles south-west of Ayr, in South Ayrshire. Every kind of property in Fisherton can book us for sand mastic. The work is guaranteed for a year. We cover 52 towns and villages across South Ayrshire, large and small. We also work in Glasgow, around 36 miles away.

Near you in Fisherton
The nearest railway station is Maybole station, roughly 4.6 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Seafield Children's Hospital (4.7 miles north-east) and Dunure Castle (0.9 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Mochrum Loch.
Why deal with it now?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. In an older home around Fisherton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

Your questions about sand mastic in Fisherton
Is Fisherton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Fisherton?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What does sand mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
