How we handle sand mastic in Kincraig
We work across Kincraig renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you are dealing with open joints round the window box and modern sealant on a period surround, we can help, on brick reveals, period & listed homes and tenement windows alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
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 Kincraig: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Insh Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Do you need sand mastic in Kincraig?
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip on the stone or timber.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
In and around Kincraig, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement

FAQs for Kincraig
Do you cover Kincraig for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kincraig is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on sand mastic in Kincraig?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. The method is the same as for windows.
Stone surrounds
The stone is treated with care while raking out the old mastic.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home, and in listed buildings it may need consent. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
