Sand mastic in Inverallochy, done properly
Across Inverallochy, 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 cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and open joints round the window box, on sash and case windows, timber door frames and period & listed homes.
In and around a place like Inverallochy, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

When to call us in Inverallochy
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer does not hold well, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
If you live in an older home near Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Leave it or put it right?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. In a place like Inverallochy, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Inverallochy homes and the weather
Inverallochy 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. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Around Inverallochy, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Your questions about sand mastic in Inverallochy
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Inverallochy any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Do you cover smaller places like Inverallochy?
Yes, Inverallochy is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Yes, it’s worth checking. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on every job.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Often, yes. With the silicone removed and the joint cleaned, sand mastic is applied by hand.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Talk to us before any painting near it.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Broken panes
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
