Sand mastic in Kirkfieldbank, done properly
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. We are often asked to deal with weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and draughts and rain around sash boxes, across tenement windows, sash and case windows and brick reveals.
In and around a place like Kirkfieldbank, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Kirkfieldbank as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.

Sand mastic in Kirkfieldbank: local notes
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Lanark station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For an older house near a landmark such as Kirkfieldbank Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
