Sand Mastic in Hyndland
Traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Hyndland. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Common problems we fix in Hyndland
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. That movement opens up the mastic joint little by little.
Look out for any of the following:
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
Schools such as Hyndland Secondary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

About our sand mastic in Hyndland
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We work on timber door frames, tenement windows and stone surrounds, and the jobs we see most are draughty sash windows at the surround and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you are in a tenement flat or a house in Hyndland, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hyndland and across Glasgow.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Cracked or broken glass
- Decayed frames that need repair
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Sand mastic in Hyndland: local notes
Hyndland is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around older windows and doors to keep out. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you live in an older home near Hyndland Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Hyndland station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Hyndland questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Hyndland station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do sand mastic in Hyndland?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Hyndland is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What is sand mastic?
It’s the traditional filler for the joint round timber windows and doors. It’s made with sand and a linseed-oil-based binder.
What does sand mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes. We remove the silicone and clean the joint, then point it with sand mastic.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for a single window, longer for several, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

Period and listed homes
Period homes look their best with traditional materials, and sand mastic is one of them.
Stone surrounds
We take care not to mark the stone when the old mastic comes out.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
