Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Cummingston
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and is not always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where the frame meets the masonry and patchy fillers round a sash window, on sash and case windows, brick reveals and tenement windows.
In and around a place like Cummingston, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Moray.

What we are called out for in Cummingston
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows, which is a good time to renew it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Around Cummingston, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Frames and glazing around Cummingston
Cummingston is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For jobs in and around Cummingston, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Where do you work from?

Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What is sand mastic?
It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder. It’s built up in the joint by hand and finished to sit neatly against the masonry.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly but needs longer to fully harden.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber, which can lead to rot.
