Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Burrelton
We work across Burrelton renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We work on tenement windows, period & listed homes and brick reveals, and people most often call us about crumbling sand mastic round a window and mastic round period door frames that has failed.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Burrelton and everywhere else we cover.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Signs you need sand mastic in Burrelton
Timber frames move with the seasons. The movement cracks the mastic over time.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
Whether the job is in Burrelton itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Surface by surface
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside so we finish it carefully.

Why deal with it now?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
