About our sand mastic in Dullatur
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it and we’ll advise if you’re redecorating. If you have wind and rain getting in round a sash window and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Common questions in Dullatur
Do you cover Dullatur for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Dullatur is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Croy station?

Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dullatur
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. In a place like Dullatur, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Common problems we fix in Dullatur
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They do not move with the timber, and they generally need raking out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
Managing a site like Our Lady's High? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Letting a property close to Croy station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints from start to finish. Outside jobs in Dullatur 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 is not affected.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
