Sand mastic in East Dunbartonshire: how it works
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We’re often asked to deal with gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, across brick reveals, stone surrounds and timber door frames.
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.

Homes in Scotland come with their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. We work across Scotland, including East Dunbartonshire.
Kirkintilloch: Rented homes near Lenzie station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. If you look after a building such as Kirkintilloch High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Broken panes
- Whether work needs listed building consent
Common problems we fix in East Dunbartonshire
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip on the stone or timber.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
Why act early?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them.

Common questions in East Dunbartonshire
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
We’ll help you decide. Period homes often look best with sand mastic and newer frames suit modern sealant.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll advise.
