Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

FAQs for Kinellar
Do you cover Kinellar for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kinellar is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Kinellar within the area you cover?
Yes, Kinellar is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It skins over fairly quickly but takes longer to harden fully. We’ll explain what to expect before we leave.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly but needs longer to fully harden.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Sash and case windows
- Stone surrounds
- Period & listed homes
- Brick reveals

Windows and doors in Kinellar
Aberdeen’s nickname, the Granite City, comes from its stone buildings, and sealing against granite needs clean, sound edges and a sealant that suits stone. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Kintore station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. In and around Kinellar, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
