What the job involves on each surface
Timber door frames
A neat sand mastic joint round a front door suits a period home.
Brick reveals
Brick reveals round timber windows are often pointed with sand mastic. It suits older brickwork.
What we are called out for in Braehead and Broomridge
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
Look out for any of the following:
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
If you look after a building such as Wallace High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

FAQs for Braehead and Broomridge
Is Braehead and Broomridge within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Stirling station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
Sand mastic generally suits period timber windows best. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
In most cases. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned, then point it with sand mastic.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
You get our one-year guarantee to all our work.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What else we do in Braehead and Broomridge
Landlord and commercial work in Braehead and Broomridge
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What happens if it’s left?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
