About our sand mastic in Crimond
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. If you have mastic round period door frames that has failed and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, we can put it right, on brick reveals, tenement windows and timber door frames alike.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Crimond is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why act early in Crimond
A silicone bead can be quicker, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. 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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Avoid painting over the new mastic, which is the traditional advice. Ask us before any decorating around it.

Windows and doors in Crimond
Crimond is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around Crimond Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work usually takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Outside jobs in Crimond need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

FAQs for Crimond
Does the coastal weather in Crimond affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Do you cover smaller places like Crimond?
Yes. Crimond is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. If you’re redecorating the window, ask us first and we’ll advise.
