Sand mastic in Inveraldie
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you have gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can help, on period & listed homes, tenement windows and timber door frames alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Inveraldie depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Questions from Inveraldie
Is Inveraldie in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Inveraldie is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Inveraldie?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Inveraldie.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
The surface skins quite quickly and it hardens fully over a longer time. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Your local planning authority is the one to ask. They decide whether consent is needed for work to your windows.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
Avoid painting over the new mastic, which is the traditional advice. If you’re redecorating, ask us first.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.
Common problems we fix in Inveraldie
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Braeview Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What sand mastic looks like in Inveraldie
Historic houses like Camperdown House (about 4.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Inveraldie has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Dundee sits on the north bank of the Tay, and much of its older housing is sandstone tenements.
Letting a property close to Dundee station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For an older house near a landmark such as Tealing Parish Church And Churchyard, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
