Sand mastic for Easterhouse and the surrounding area: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry so early renewal protects both.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Easterhouse
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead and we will explain which is best for yours. We are often asked to deal with cracked mastic round a front door frame and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, on sash and case windows, timber door frames and period & listed homes.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why act early in Easterhouse
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. In a place like Easterhouse, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
Period and listed homes
Period homes look their best with traditional materials, and sand mastic is one of them.
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show so we finish it carefully.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Outdoor work around Easterhouse depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

Frames and glazing around Easterhouse
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Easterhouse is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain.
Schools such as St. Leonard's Secondary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Benedict's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Easterhouse station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
