Sand mastic in Blairgowrie and Rattray
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. If you’re dealing with draughts and rain around sash boxes and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a town like Blairgowrie and Rattray, stone-built older streets usually sit alongside harled houses and newer estates, and windows range from older sash and case to modern uPVC. Each needs the right sealant against the right wall.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Blairgowrie and Rattray as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Blairgowrie and Rattray
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. In Blairgowrie and Rattray, wind and rain soon get through failed outside joints. Inside, a failed seal around a bath or shower lets water into floors and ceilings.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Blairgowrie and Rattray homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Blairgowrie High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. A visit in Blairgowrie and Rattray needs three things planned: access, parking and where the work is. Outside work depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- 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.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What’s sand mastic made of?
It’s the traditional filler for the joint round timber windows and doors. It’s made with sand and a linseed-oil-based binder.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How the job changes by surface
Period and listed homes
A traditional finish suits a period property.
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. The finish blends with the masonry.
Common problems we fix in Blairgowrie and Rattray
Most of it is simply age. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
Around Blairgowrie and Rattray, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
