About our sand mastic in Lintmill
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. Typical jobs include weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and old cement repairs round a window that have failed, on period & listed homes, timber door frames and brick reveals.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Frames and glazing around Lintmill
Lintmill is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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 Lintmill, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Collegiate Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Lintmill questions
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Lintmill?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Is Lintmill in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Lintmill is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
That depends on your windows. Period windows in stone or brick usually suit sand mastic and newer frames normally get a flexible sealant.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How much does sand mastic cost in Lintmill?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
Not straight away. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later and we’ll give you an idea for your job.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What the job involves on each surface
Period and listed homes
Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice for many period homes. On listed buildings, check with your planning authority first.
Sash and case windows
Sash windows are where we do most sand mastic work. We renew the mastic round each box.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Broken panes
- Sashes that need overhauling
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Lintmill

Why act early in Lintmill
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Around Lintmill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
