What we do, step by step
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 normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- 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.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Nemphlar
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. If you are dealing with cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and crumbling sand mastic round a window, we can help, on brick reveals, timber door frames and sash and case windows alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Nemphlar depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Your questions about sand mastic in Nemphlar
Do you cover Nemphlar for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Nemphlar is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Nemphlar?
Yes, Nemphlar is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Yes, we do this often. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.
What does sand mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like but the decision is theirs.
How the job changes by surface
Sash and case windows
Most of our sand mastic work is on sash windows. Each joint round the box is raked out and renewed.
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. We renew it the same way as on windows.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Quotes for sand mastic in Nemphlar
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Frames and glazing around Nemphlar
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.
If you live in an older home near Kirkfieldbank Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Lanark station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lanark Grammar School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What else we do in Nemphlar
Why act early in Nemphlar
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. In a place like Nemphlar, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
