Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Jedburgh
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on brick reveals, sash and case windows and timber door frames, and people most often call us about modern sealant on a period surround and gaps where the frame meets the masonry.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Sand mastic in Jedburgh: local notes
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, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Schools such as Jedburgh Grammar School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Jedburgh is about 10 miles east of Hawick, in the Scottish Borders. We provide sand mastic to homeowners, landlords and businesses in Jedburgh and the surrounding area. Jedburgh is one of 89 places in the Scottish Borders we cover. We also work in Edinburgh, about 41 miles from Jedburgh.
Here we cover the TD8 postcode area for sand mastic. Local streets include High Street, Old Bridge End and Boundaries. Being close to the A68 and B6358, Jedburgh is easy for our applicators to reach. Nearby, we also carry out sand mastic in Ancrum (3 miles north-west), Oxnam (3 miles south-east), Nisbet (3 miles north), Denholm (5 miles west) and Belses (6 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Galashiels (14 miles north-west), Hawick (10 miles west), Kelso (10 miles north-east), Selkirk (12 miles north-west), Wilton (10 miles west) and Melrose (11 miles north-west). Jedburgh is among the bigger towns we cover in the Scottish Borders.

When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Broken panes
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Timber door frames
- Stone surrounds
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
- Tenement windows
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere like Jedburgh may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. Around Jedburgh, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Do you need sand mastic in Jedburgh?
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Exposed elevations generally fail first.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
If you live in an older home near Boston Church and Offices, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
