Sand mastic in Cluny
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. If you have mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and crumbling sand mastic round a window, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Cluny may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cluny
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Timber that has rotted
- Whether work needs listed building consent
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Cluny
- Brick reveals
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds
- Period & listed homes
- Timber door frames
- Sash and case windows
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.

Cluny homes and the weather
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, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Cardenden station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. Schools such as Kirkcaldy High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Surface by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. We renew it the same way as on windows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cluny
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
