Sand mastic in Fallin, done properly
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We work on stone surrounds, period & listed homes and timber door frames, and the jobs we see most are window mastic to renew ahead of painting and open joints round the window box.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Fallin depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Leave it or put it right?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. In an older home around Fallin, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
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.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Fallin: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Fallin?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stirling station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like but the decision is theirs.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
That depends on your windows. Period windows in stone or brick normally suit sand mastic and newer frames generally get a flexible sealant.
Sand mastic in Fallin: local notes
Fallin is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
