Sand mastic in Turnberry, done properly
We work across Turnberry renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you have window mastic to renew ahead of painting and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can put it right, on sash and case windows, timber door frames and stone surrounds alike.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. 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 in Turnberry and across South Ayrshire.

Sand mastic in Turnberry: local notes
Turnberry is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For landlords with property near Girvan station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Turnberry questions
Is Turnberry within the area you cover?
Yes, Turnberry is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Turnberry?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can sand mastic be painted?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

What we are called out for in Turnberry
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and loosens it further. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
In and around Turnberry, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What preparation is included
- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
Why deal with it now?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad, and renewing the mastic closes them. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
