About our sand mastic in Cummings Park
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you have window mastic to renew ahead of painting and mastic round period door frames that has failed, we can help, on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and timber door frames alike.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Cummings Park, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Advice
Why act early in Cummings Park
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Cummings Park, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?

Read what affects the cost and our reviews.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
FAQs for Cummings Park
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Cummings Park get organised?
It generally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t.
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Cummings Park any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, it’s a common request. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you need sand mastic in Cummings Park?
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
Provost Skene's House, about 2.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cummings Park.

What else we do in Cummings Park
Sand mastic in Cummings Park: local notes
Cummings Park is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Northfield Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
