Sand mastic in Hamiltonhill
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and is not always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. We’re often asked to deal with modern sealant on a period surround and mastic dropping out of the joint, across period & listed homes, brick reveals and sash and case windows.
Hamiltonhill is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which normally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?
New mastic over crumbling mastic will not hold. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Hamiltonhill, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Tenement windows
- Sash and case windows
- Timber door frames
- Brick reveals
- Stone surrounds
- Period & listed homes
Common problems we fix in Hamiltonhill
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They don’t move with the timber and we normally remove them.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Open joints round the window box
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
Managing a site like St Aloysius' College? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
