Sand mastic in Gowrie Park
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it and tidies the surround. We work on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and tenement windows, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked mastic round a front door frame and modern sealant on a period surround.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you are in a tenement flat or a house in Gowrie Park, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Gowrie Park and everywhere else we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Tell us the height and we will confirm what’s needed.
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before the new mastic goes in.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, including the tidy-up. For a tenement in Gowrie Park, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.

Gowrie Park homes and the weather
Gowrie Park is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Windows normally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
Letting a property close to Invergowrie station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Camperdown House, about 1.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Gowrie Park.

Why deal with it now?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. In a tenement flat in Gowrie Park, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

When to call us in Gowrie Park
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
Managing a site like Menzieshill High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

When will the new mastic be hard?
The surface skins quite quickly, then hardens over a longer period. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
