About our sand mastic in Badentoy Park
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties where a modern sealant bead would stand out. Typical jobs include mastic round period door frames that has failed and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, across brick reveals, tenement windows and timber door frames.
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, so the mastic there works hard.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Do not paint over the new mastic
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
Questions from Badentoy Park
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Badentoy Park any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for landlords with property near Portlethen station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Badentoy Park and the rest of Aberdeen, along with the rest of our area.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
It depends on the window. Period windows in stone or brick normally suit sand mastic, while modern frames normally get a flexible sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What exactly is sand mastic?
It’s the traditional filler for the joint round timber windows and doors. It combines sand with a linseed-oil-based binder.
Why it’s worth doing now in Badentoy Park
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In an older home around Badentoy Park, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Do you need sand mastic in Badentoy Park?
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and loosens it further. Exposed elevations usually fail first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
Friendville, about 4.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Badentoy Park, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
What to look for in a quote

- The length of the guarantee
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

What sand mastic looks like in Badentoy Park
Badentoy Park is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Portlethen Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Portlethen station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
