Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Inchmagrannachan
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. Typical jobs include mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and gaps round a timber door in stone or brick, across stone surrounds, 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
Rented homes near Dunkeld & Birnam station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

What affects the cost of sand mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What does sand mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
We’ll help you decide. Period homes often look best with sand mastic and newer frames suit modern sealant.

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work for letting agents?

How long does sand mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes, it’s a common request. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic can sit properly.
What sand mastic looks like in Inchmagrannachan
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Inchmagrannachan, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Why act early in Inchmagrannachan
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
