How we handle sand mastic in Chapelhall
Across Chapelhall, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. Common call-outs are for mastic dropping out of the joint and cracked mastic round a front door frame, on brick reveals, tenement windows and timber door frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Chapelhall depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What sand mastic looks like in Chapelhall
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional 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.
Schools such as Brannock High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Drumgelloch station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

What we’re called out for in Chapelhall
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
Look out for any of the following:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
In the older streets around St Aloysius Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Why act early in Chapelhall
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. 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.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
