About our sand mastic in Cambuskenneth
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We work on period & listed homes, timber door frames and sash and case windows, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and failed mastic on an exposed elevation.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Stirling.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a place like Cambuskenneth, 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.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- 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.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

Windows and doors in Cambuskenneth
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wallace High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why deal with it now?
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. Around Cambuskenneth, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
