Sash and case windows
A sash window’s box frame sits in the masonry opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It suits older brickwork.
About our sand mastic in Eaglesfield
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We’re often asked to deal with weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, across brick reveals, sash and case windows and period & listed homes.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Eaglesfield
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. In a place like Eaglesfield, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Eaglesfield homes and the weather

What we’re called out for in Eaglesfield
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that is too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
Whether the job is in Eaglesfield itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eaglesfield
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
For anyone letting property in or around Eaglesfield, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Outdoor work around Eaglesfield depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
