Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
About our sand mastic in Loganlea
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We work on brick reveals, stone surrounds and period & listed homes, and common reasons people get in touch are wind and rain getting in round a sash window and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Loganlea depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How long does sand mastic take to harden?
A skin forms quite soon, but full hardening takes longer. We’ll tell you what to expect for your job.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
In most cases. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned before the sand mastic goes in.
What guarantee comes with the work?

What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Bigger jobs take longer.

Windows and doors in Loganlea
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Addiewell Church Of Scotland, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Loganlea
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
