Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on brick reveals, stone surrounds and tenement windows, and people most often call us about old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look.
In and around a place like Kennoway, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.

Towns and villages near Kennoway
What else we do in Kennoway
Windows and doors in Kennoway
Kennoway is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Cameron Bridge station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. If you live in an older home near Kennoway Old Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber, which can lead to rot.
Do you need sand mastic in Kennoway?
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
If you look after a building such as Kirkland High School and Community College, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

FAQs for Kennoway
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Kennoway any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cameron Bridge station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does sand mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a one-year guarantee.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before pointing.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
