Sand mastic in Lennoxtown
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. We work on tenement windows, sash and case windows and stone surrounds, and people most often call us about open joints round the window box and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look.
In and around a place like Lennoxtown, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why act early in Lennoxtown
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. In a place like Lennoxtown, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Quotes for sand mastic in Lennoxtown
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Lennoxtown homes and the weather

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Look over the window mastic once a year
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.
