Our applicators work in Kirkhill on traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Sand mastic in Kirkhill, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and is not always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. If you have a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can help.
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.
You are 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.

Common questions in Kirkhill
Can you do sand mastic in Kirkhill?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kirkhill is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kirkhill station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can sand mastic be painted?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
How much does sand mastic cost in Kirkhill?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Kirkhill and the rest of South Lanarkshire, along with the rest of our area.
When to call us in Kirkhill
Most of it is simply age. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time, depending on exposure and upkeep.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
If you let a flat or house near Kirkhill station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Frames and glazing around Kirkhill
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around older windows and doors to keep out. 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.
In the older streets around Cambuslang Baptist Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as West Coats Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Kirkhill is about 1 mile west of Cambuslang, in South Lanarkshire. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Kirkhill can book us for sand mastic. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Kirkhill is one of 139 places in South Lanarkshire we cover.
Here we cover the G72 postcode area for sand mastic. That includes homes and businesses on Croft Road, Cairns Road and Main Street and the roads around them.

What’s near Kirkhill
We work in homes and buildings around The John Fairweather pub, Cambuslang Park and Rutherglen High School. There’s a railway station in Kirkhill itself: Kirkhill station. Nearby you will also find Kingsgate Retail Park (2.3 miles south) and Belvidere Hospital (2.3 miles north-west). The countryside around Kirkhill includes Hogganfield Loch and Cathkin Braes.
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. Around Kirkhill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
