Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Gullane
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on tenement windows, stone surrounds and timber door frames, and the jobs we see most are wind and rain getting in round a sash window and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Gullane is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why deal with it now?
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. Around Gullane, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common questions in Gullane
Do you cover smaller places like Gullane?
Yes, Gullane is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does the coastal weather in Gullane affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, sand mastic included.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. If you’re redecorating the window, ask us first and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area 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.
Windows and doors in Gullane
Gullane 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter’s Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Drem station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints for a typical job. For a place like Gullane, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
