Sand mastic in Maryburgh, done properly
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. Typical jobs include gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and window mastic to renew ahead of painting, across period & listed homes, tenement windows and sash and case windows.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Maryburgh is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Windows and doors in Maryburgh
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Lochgelly station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Homes close to Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
Tenement and terrace windows
Upper-floor windows need access planning. Tell us the height and we will confirm what’s needed.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows in most cases. Around Maryburgh, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed 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.

Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
