A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Lindsayfield
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we will advise if you are redecorating. We’re often asked to deal with mastic round period door frames that has failed and patchy fillers round a sash window, across period & listed homes, tenement windows and timber door frames.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Timber that has rotted
- Damaged stone surrounds

What we seal
- Stone surrounds
- Sash and case windows
- Tenement windows
- Period & listed homes
- Brick reveals
- Timber door frames
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
Why act early in Lindsayfield
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Will you come out to Lindsayfield?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Lindsayfield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It skins over fairly quickly but takes longer to harden fully. We’ll explain what to expect before we leave.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Lindsayfield depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
Sand mastic in Lindsayfield: local notes
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. 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 Duncanrig Secondary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Hairmyres station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
