Sand Mastic in Lundin Links
We cover Lundin Links for traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
Leave it or put it right?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Around Lundin Links, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How we handle sand mastic in Lundin Links
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we will talk through which suits your home. Common call-outs are for mastic dropping out of the joint and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, on period & listed homes, tenement windows and sash and case windows.
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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lundin Links
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Windows and doors in Lundin Links
Lundin Links is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Rented homes near Leven station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
Questions from Lundin Links
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Leven station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Lundin Links?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Lundin Links, along with the rest of our area.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- 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.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
What we are called out for in Lundin Links
Timber frames move with the seasons. That movement opens up the mastic joint little by little.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
In and around Lundin Links, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
