Sand mastic in Lady's Well

About our sand mastic in Lady's Well

Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. Common call-outs are for window mastic to renew ahead of painting and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, on stone surrounds, timber door frames and brick reveals.

Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Lady's Well depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Do you need sand mastic in Lady's Well?

Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows, which is a good time to renew it.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Draughts and rain around sash boxes
  • Patchy fillers round a sash window
  • Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
  • Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint

If you let a flat or house near Kilmaurs station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

How to choose a mastic man

Lady's Well: your questions answered

Will you come out to Lady's Well?

Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you cover Lady's Well for sand mastic?

Yes, Lady's Well is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.

How long does sand mastic take to go off?

It takes a while. It skins first and hardens fully later and we’ll give you an idea for your job.

Where are you based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Lady's Well and the rest of East Ayrshire, along with the rest of our area.

What should I tell you?

Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Frames and glazing around Lady's Well

The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.

Girgenti House, about 3.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lady's Well, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Grange Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of sand mastic

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Access and height

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What to tell us for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.

How the job changes by surface

Brick reveals

Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It gives a traditional finish.

Period and listed homes

Materials matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Like-for-like sand mastic is generally favoured.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

DIY versus a professional finish

Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

What happens if it’s left?

Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. 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.

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Why us?

  • Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
  • Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
  • Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
  • Neat joints and a tidy finish

See what affects the cost or what customers say.

What happens on the day

We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally 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.

  1. We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
  2. We remove the old, loose mastic.
  3. We pack any deep voids first.
  4. We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
  5. We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
