How we handle sand mastic in Bogmoor
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. If you have cracked mastic round a front door frame and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, we can put it right, on period & listed homes, timber door frames and sash and case windows alike.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Outdoor work around Bogmoor depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Bogmoor questions
Can you do sand mastic in Bogmoor?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bogmoor is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Bogmoor within the area you cover?
Yes. Bogmoor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
A skin forms quite soon, but full hardening takes longer. We’ll explain what to expect before we leave.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
When to call us in Bogmoor
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that is too thin cracks and drops out, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
Around Bogmoor, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Bogmoor
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. In an older home around Bogmoor, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Full insurance on every job

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. It finishes to look like part of the surround.
Windows and doors in Bogmoor
Bogmoor is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For jobs in and around Bogmoor, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
