Sand mastic in Auchinreoch, done properly
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties where a modern sealant bead would stand out. Common call-outs are for window mastic to renew ahead of painting and crumbling sand mastic round a window, across timber door frames, stone surrounds and brick reveals.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Windows and doors in Auchinreoch
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Auchinreoch is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain.
In the older streets around Kirkintilloch, 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 Kirkintilloch High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Do not paint over the new mastic
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
Do you need sand mastic in Auchinreoch?
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
For landlords with property near Lenzie station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside, so a neat, even finish matters.
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Sashes that need overhauling
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
