How we handle sand mastic in Huntershill Village
Across Huntershill Village, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. Common call-outs are for tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, on tenement windows, period & listed homes and brick reveals.
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.
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.

Why deal with it now?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. In an older home around Huntershill Village, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- 20+ years of sealant experience

What the job involves on each surface
Brick reveals
We rake out the old mastic and pack deep voids before pointing.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Outside jobs in Huntershill Village need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
