Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Fearnan
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. We work on timber door frames, period & listed homes and tenement windows, and common reasons people get in touch are cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and draughty sash windows at the surround.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Fearnan is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Fearnan may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.

How the job changes by surface
Period and listed homes
On a listed home or in a conservation area, the right material matters. Sand mastic is often the preferred finish.
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear and the mastic can crack early. It’s renewed by hand.
What we are called out for in Fearnan
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
In and around Fearnan, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.

Frames and glazing around Fearnan
Fearnan 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Whether the job is in Fearnan itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
