What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows in most cases. Outside jobs in Crindledyke need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
How we handle sand mastic in Crindledyke
Across Crindledyke, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. Typical jobs include window mastic to renew ahead of painting and mastic round period door frames that has failed, on timber door frames, brick reveals and stone surrounds.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Crindledyke depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sand mastic in Crindledyke: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. With historic houses such as Cambusnethan House (about 3.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Crindledyke as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Bonkle Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Cleland station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. If you look after a building such as Coltness High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Other services in Crindledyke
Leave it or put it right?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. 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.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
