About our sand mastic in Catrine
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. We are often asked to deal with mastic dropping out of the joint and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, across stone surrounds, sash and case windows and timber door frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Catrine depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Broken panes
- Timber that has rotted
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Catrine
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad, and renewing the mastic closes them. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What sand mastic looks like in Catrine
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. With historic houses such as Dumfries House (about 3.5 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Catrine as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Catrine Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Auchinleck station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
