Sand mastic in Garrowhill, done properly
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. If you’re dealing with tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, we can help, on timber door frames, sash and case windows and brick reveals alike.
In and around a place like Garrowhill, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Frames and glazing around Garrowhill
Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Homes close to St John's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Bannerman High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
A neat sand mastic joint round a front door suits a period home.
Brick reveals
Brick reveals round timber windows are often pointed with sand mastic. It suits older brickwork.
Why deal with it now?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. In an older home around Garrowhill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Garrowhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
