Sand mastic in Springhall, done properly

Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Springhall is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.

What affects the quote in Springhall
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
Why deal with it now?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- We are fully insured

What exactly is sand mastic?
Sand mastic is a traditional material for pointing round windows and doors. It combines sand with a linseed-oil-based binder.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Sand mastic in Springhall: local notes
Historic houses like Provand's Lordship (about 4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Springhall has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around older windows and doors to keep out.
Homes close to Trinity Parish Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cathkin High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
