Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Inverarish
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and does not suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on sash and case windows, tenement windows and period & listed homes, and people most often call us about mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Inverarish is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Around Inverarish, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

When to call us in Inverarish
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
Around Inverarish, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What else we do in Inverarish
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Windows and doors in Inverarish
Inverarish is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Inverarish 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.
For jobs in and around Inverarish, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Why act early in Inverarish
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. In a place like Inverarish, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before the new mastic goes in.
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the gap is not the same all the way round. Sand mastic is shaped by hand to suit.
