Sand mastic in Kinloch
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material blends with stone and brick surrounds. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. We work on sash and case windows, timber door frames and tenement windows, and people most often call us about silicone on a period window that looks wrong and draughty sash windows at the surround.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Signs you need sand mastic in Kinloch
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
Schools such as Blairgowrie High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Windows and doors in Kinloch
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In the older streets around Kinloch Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
