Sand mastic for sash & case windows in Grange, Perth and Kinross
Sand mastic for Grange, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
About our sand mastic in Grange
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. Typical jobs include a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, on tenement windows, brick reveals and stone surrounds.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Grange depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common questions in Grange
Can you do sand mastic in Grange?
Yes, Grange is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Grange any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, sand mastic included.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Grange
Some old mastic was never deep enough. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open joints round the window box
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Whether the job is in Grange itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Grange homes and the weather
Grange is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Grange, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
