Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
About our sand mastic in Currie
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time, leaving gaps round the window. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. Typical jobs include tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows, on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and timber door frames.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Currie and across Edinburgh.

Frames and glazing around Currie
Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Managing a site like Currie High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Curriehill station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. The method is the same as for windows.
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It gives a traditional finish.
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Outside jobs in Currie 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 isn’t affected.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?

Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Broken panes
- Timber that has rotted
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Tenement windows
- Timber door frames
- Brick reveals
Do you need sand mastic in Currie?
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They don’t move with the timber and we normally remove them.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
Homes close to Currie Kirk include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
