Sand mastic in Barmulloch, done properly
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. We work on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and tenement windows, and common reasons people get in touch are wind and rain getting in round a sash window and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Barmulloch, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Windows and doors in Barmulloch
With historic houses such as Provand's Lordship (about 1.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Barmulloch as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain.
Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 1.9 miles south-west, show how far back building around Barmulloch goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

The work itself takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints from start to finish.

- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Leave it or put it right?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Paint over cracked mastic won’t stop the gaps and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Private landlords in Barmulloch must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
