Sand mastic for sash & case windows in Fyvie, Aberdeenshire
Problem with your window and door surrounds in Fyvie? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

About our sand mastic in Fyvie
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We’re often asked to deal with draughts and rain around sash boxes and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, on tenement windows, period & listed homes and brick reveals.
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, so the mastic there works hard.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Fyvie and across Aberdeenshire.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Decayed frames that need repair
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What is sand mastic?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Fyvie?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants do not always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In a place like Fyvie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Surface by surface
Stone surrounds
Sand mastic sits naturally against stone. It finishes to look like part of the surround.
Tenement and terrace windows
Upper-floor windows need access planning. Let us know the floor and we’ll confirm access.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Windows and doors in Fyvie
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Fyvie, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When to call us in Fyvie
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip on the stone or timber.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
Homes close to St Peter's Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
