Sand mastic in Bridge of Allan
Traditional burnt sand mastic blends with stone and brick surrounds. It’s a good fit for period properties where a modern sealant bead would stand out. Typical jobs include silicone on a period window that looks wrong and patchy fillers round a sash window, across sash and case windows, brick reveals and tenement windows.
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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outdoor work around Bridge of Allan depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

Why act early in Bridge of Allan
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants do not always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In a place like Bridge of Allan, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Frames and glazing around Bridge of Allan
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, 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 failed outside joints work against that.
Managing a site like Wallace High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as St Saviour's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
