Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Bonar Bridge
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and brick reveals, and common reasons people get in touch are draughty sash windows at the surround and open joints round the window box.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Bonar Bridge is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How we quote for sand mastic
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a place like Bonar Bridge, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.

Bonar Bridge homes and the weather
Bonar Bridge is close to 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Ardgay station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. In the older streets around Creich Church of Scotland Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Leave it or put it right?
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Leave the new mastic unpainted, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
