Why deal with it now?
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new work lasts. In an older home around Kinglassie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Sand mastic in Kinglassie
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on brick reveals, tenement windows and sash and case windows, and common reasons people get in touch are modern sealant on a period surround and open joints round the window box.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Kinglassie depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Kinglassie
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not suit the joint and we normally remove them.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
Schools such as Glenwood High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Sand mastic in Kinglassie: local notes
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For landlords with property near Cardenden station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Do not touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
