Sand mastic in Lugar
Across Lugar, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We work on stone surrounds, period & listed homes and brick reveals, and people most often call us about window mastic to renew ahead of painting and patchy fillers round a sash window.
In and around a place like Lugar, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
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.

When to call us in Lugar
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
If you look after a building such as Robert Burns Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Stone surrounds
We take care not to mark the stone when the old mastic comes out.
Period and listed homes
A traditional finish suits a period property.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Masonry that needs repairing
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

Windows and doors in Lugar
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. Historic houses like Dumfries House (about 3.2 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Lugar has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Lugar Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Auchinleck station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we quote for sand mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Access and height

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote

Questions from Lugar
Do you work for landlords with property near Auchinleck station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Lugar in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lugar is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What’s sand mastic made of?
It’s sand mixed with a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Lugar and the rest of East Ayrshire, along with the rest of our area.
What happens if it’s left?
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. In a place like Lugar, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Outside jobs in Lugar need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
