What else we do in Daviot
Daviot homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Inverurie station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

What the job involves on each surface
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before the new mastic goes in.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Common problems we fix in Daviot
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
If you live in an older home near Daviot Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why act early in Daviot
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In an older home around Daviot, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Daviot in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Daviot is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish, but they decide.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
