Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Brick reveals round timber windows are often pointed with sand mastic. It gives a traditional finish.
Period and listed homes
On a listed home or in a conservation area, the right material matters. Sand mastic is often the preferred finish.
Sand mastic in Camore
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. We are often asked to deal with window mastic to renew ahead of painting and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, across tenement windows, stone surrounds and period & listed homes.
In and around a place like Camore, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Camore and everywhere else we cover.

FAQs for Camore
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Camore?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Camore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I paint the new mastic?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Talk to us before any painting near it.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you need sand mastic in Camore?
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
Letting a property close to Tain station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Camore homes and the weather
Camore is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain.
Schools such as Dornoch Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Do not touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
