Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Hogganfield
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. Common call-outs are for crumbling sand mastic round a window and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, across sash and case windows, tenement windows and timber door frames.
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 one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick reveals
An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. New mastic seals the gap.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Tell us the height and we will confirm what’s needed.
What happens if it’s left?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
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. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Frames and glazing around Hogganfield
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. Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it.
If you let a flat or house near Robroyston station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Your questions about sand mastic in Hogganfield
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Robroyston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
