About our sand mastic in Liurbost
We work across Liurbost renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We work on stone surrounds, period & listed homes and tenement windows, and the jobs we see most are draughty sash windows at the surround and cracked mastic round a front door frame.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Liurbost as everywhere else we work.

Frames and glazing around Liurbost
Liurbost is close to 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. In and around Liurbost, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Quotes for sand mastic in Liurbost
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Timber that has rotted
- Putty and glazing repairs
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sash and case windows
- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Brick reveals
- Tenement windows
Landlords, agents and businesses in Liurbost
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
