About our sand mastic in Aberuthven
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. If you are dealing with a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Aberuthven, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Broken panes
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Aberuthven
Why act early in Aberuthven

Questions from Aberuthven
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gleneagles station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Aberuthven?
Yes. Aberuthven is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
In most cases. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned before the sand mastic goes in.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
It depends on the window. Period windows in stone or brick usually suit sand mastic and newer frames usually get a flexible sealant.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
