- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Sand mastic in Collieston, done properly
Across Collieston, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you have old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, we can put it right.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Collieston is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Collieston
Will you come out to Collieston?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Collieston for sand mastic?
Yes, Collieston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Collieston?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Generally, yes. Once the silicone is out and the joint prepared, sand mastic is applied by hand.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. We renew it the same way as on windows.
Period and listed homes
Many older homes were built with sand mastic round the windows. On listed buildings, check with your planning authority first.
Windows and doors in Collieston
Collieston 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Parish Church of Slains include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Collieston is about 12 miles south-west of Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire. From the centre of Collieston to the outskirts, sand mastic is available for homes and businesses alike. Across Aberdeenshire, we cover 161 places, and Collieston is one of them. Our Aberdeen page covers work nearby.
We work across the AB41 postcode area for sand mastic and the streets around it. You’ll find Collieston on the B9003, so it’s easy for us to get to with everything needed for sand mastic.

Well-known places in the area include Foveran Castle (4.2 miles south-west). The countryside around Collieston includes Cotehill Loch.
Why act early in Collieston
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

Do you need sand mastic in Collieston?
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. The movement cracks the mastic little by little.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
In and around Collieston, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Tenement windows
- Brick reveals
- Timber door frames
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Collieston may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
