Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Drumnadrochit
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and does not suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. If you’re dealing with cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can put it right.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Drumnadrochit and across Highland.

Common questions in Drumnadrochit
Do you cover smaller places like Drumnadrochit?
Yes, Drumnadrochit is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do sand mastic in Drumnadrochit?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Drumnadrochit is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Leave it or put it right?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Windows and doors in Drumnadrochit
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Glen Urquhart High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Common problems we fix in Drumnadrochit
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
If you live in an older home near Kilmore Parish Church of Scotland, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What the job involves on each surface
Stone surrounds
The stone is treated with care when the old mastic comes out.
Period and listed homes
Materials matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Like-for-like sand mastic is normally favoured.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
