Sand mastic in Bridgend
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. We work on brick reveals, period & listed homes and stone surrounds, and the jobs we see most are cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and draughty sash windows at the surround.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Bridgend
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint, which is a good time to renew it.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
In the older streets around St Andrew's Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Before booking anyone

- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- Who turns up on the day
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows in most cases. Outside jobs in Bridgend need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Windows and doors in Bridgend
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with 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.
For landlords with property near Huntly station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before pointing.
Tenement and terrace windows
Upper-floor windows need access planning. Tell us the height and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber, which can lead to rot.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bridgend
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?

- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Fully insured
- 20+ years of sealant experience

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
