About our sand mastic in Hunter's Town
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 swap the silicone for it. If you have old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, we can put it right, on period & listed homes, tenement windows and sash and case windows alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Hunter's Town homes and the weather
Hunter's Town 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 the older streets around Carnoustie Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Golf Street station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
Hunter's Town is about 1 mile west of Carnoustie, in Angus. We provide sand mastic to homes and businesses in Hunter's Town. Hunter's Town is one of 40 towns and villages in Angus where we work for sand mastic. Our Dundee page covers work nearby.

What else we do in Hunter's Town
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Why deal with it now?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. In a place like Hunter's Town, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why Hunter's Town clients choose us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins.

- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Do you need sand mastic in Hunter's Town?
Paint, silicone or cement used over old mastic causes problems. They don’t move with the timber and we normally remove them.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Carnoustie High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
