Balbeggie Sand Mastic
Our applicators work in Balbeggie on traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Open joints round the window box
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
Why it’s worth doing now in Balbeggie
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. In a place like Balbeggie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

About our sand mastic in Balbeggie
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. Typical jobs include a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and timber door frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Balbeggie depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Stone surrounds
We take care not to mark the stone while raking out the old mastic.
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
What affects the quote in Balbeggie
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Timber that has rotted
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- Period & listed homes
- Timber door frames

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Balbeggie homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For jobs in and around Balbeggie, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Balbeggie, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Outdoor work around Balbeggie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
