Inverkeilor: your questions answered
Is Inverkeilor in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Inverkeilor is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Inverkeilor?
Yes. Inverkeilor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, sand mastic included.
When will the new mastic be hard?
The surface skins quite quickly and it hardens fully over a longer time. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like but the decision is theirs.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Sand mastic in Inverkeilor
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. If you’re dealing with silicone on a period window that looks wrong and draughty sash windows at the surround, we can put it right.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Windows and doors in Inverkeilor
Inverkeilor 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Inverkeilor Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Do you need sand mastic in Inverkeilor?
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
In and around Inverkeilor, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Inverkeilor need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
