Our sand mastic service in Dundee
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We’re often asked to deal with crumbling sand mastic round a window and cracked mastic round a front door frame, across brick reveals, tenement windows and stone surrounds.
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows for a typical job.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.

Sand mastic across Dundee: local notes
From Broughty Ferry, Stobswell and Monifieth to its smaller places, Dundee has windows and doors of every age and material. The mastic around all of them ages, and it’s normally the first thing to let the weather in.
Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. We work across Scotland, including Dundee. Parts of Dundee are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Dundee: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Dundee station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours, so check who is responsible first.
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. The finish blends with the masonry.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Broken panes
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Sashes that need overhauling
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How hidden problems are handled
- What insurance they hold
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Quotes for sand mastic in Dundee
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

- Any working-time requirements on site

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Your questions about sand mastic in Dundee
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Dundee.
How much does sand mastic cost in Dundee?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost 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 sand mastic be painted?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll advise.
