Sand mastic in Laighstonehall, done properly
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. If you are dealing with tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and draughty sash windows at the surround, we can help.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Frames and glazing around Laighstonehall
Laighstonehall is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Cambusnethan House, about 4.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Laighstonehall, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. For landlords with property near Hamilton West station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you look after a building such as Earnock High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. Around Laighstonehall, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

Laighstonehall: your questions answered
Will you come out to Laighstonehall?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hamilton West station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned before the sand mastic goes in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Laighstonehall and the rest of South Lanarkshire.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We can do one window or several.
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. The method is the same as for windows.
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. 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.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
