Sand mastic in Condorrat
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. If you are dealing with mastic round period door frames that has failed and mastic dropping out of the joint, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Condorrat depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Frames and glazing around Condorrat
Condorrat is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around older windows and doors to keep out. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Greenfaulds station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Managing a site like Greenfaulds High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
Should I try it myself first?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Why act early in Condorrat
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
