Sand mastic in Flemington, done properly
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. If you have modern sealant on a period surround and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Flemington, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
Leave the new mastic unpainted, which is the traditional advice. If you are redecorating, ask us first.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Flemington may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Questions from Flemington
Do you cover Flemington for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Flemington is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Newton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long does sand mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
What we’re called out for in Flemington
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Open joints round the window box
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rutherglen High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Frames and glazing around Flemington
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Rented homes near Newton station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
