Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Lands of Broomlands
Sand mastic does not last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it so the surround looks right again. If you have mastic dropping out of the joint and window mastic to renew ahead of painting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Lands of Broomlands and across North Ayrshire.

What sand mastic looks like in Lands of Broomlands
Lands of Broomlands is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s 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 failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Greenwood Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Girgenti House, about 3.5 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lands of Broomlands.

Lands of Broomlands questions
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Lands of Broomlands?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you cover smaller places like Lands of Broomlands?
Yes, Lands of Broomlands is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What is sand mastic?
Sand plus a binder based on linseed oil. It’s applied by hand and finished to sit neatly against the masonry.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
The surface skins quite quickly, then hardens over a longer period. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, we do this often. All the old silicone is removed first so the mastic can sit properly.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lands of Broomlands
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
