Sand mastic in Lamlash
We work across Lamlash renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you have patchy fillers round a sash window and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Lamlash depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lamlash
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Windows and doors in Lamlash
Lamlash 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. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Around Lamlash, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Schools such as Arran High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Tenement windows
- Timber door frames
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
