About our sand mastic in Findhorn
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We are often asked to deal with open joints round the window box and draughty sash windows at the surround, across sash and case windows, tenement windows and stone surrounds.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Findhorn depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Moray.

What sand mastic looks like in Findhorn
Findhorn is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Findhorn Parish Church and Church Hall include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Questions from Findhorn
Do you cover smaller places like Findhorn?
Yes, Findhorn is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Forres station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What does sand mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, it’s a common request. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
How we quote for sand mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What happens if it’s left?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- We never seal over old sealant
- Arbo and Everbuild products
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints from start to finish. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Advice
When to call us in Findhorn
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
For landlords with property near Forres station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
