About our sand mastic in Boddam
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it, so ask us before you decorate. Typical jobs include gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and gaps round a timber door in stone or brick, on tenement windows, timber door frames and stone surrounds.
In and around a place like Boddam, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Boddam: your questions answered
Can you do sand mastic in Boddam?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Boddam is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Boddam any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, sand mastic included.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How the job changes by surface
Sash and case windows
Most of our sand mastic work is on sash windows. Each joint round the box is raked out and renewed.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the gap isn’t the same all the way round. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Signs you need sand mastic in Boddam
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
Around Boddam, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement

Frames and glazing around Boddam
Boddam is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is 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 failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Parish Church Of Boddam include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Boddam
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Boddam and across Aberdeenshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Why deal with it now?
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Around Boddam, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
