How we handle sand mastic in Kinloch Rannoch
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. If you are dealing with weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and gaps where the frame meets the masonry, we can help, on tenement windows, timber door frames and sash and case windows alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why deal with it now?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. 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.

Kinloch Rannoch questions
Is there a guarantee on sand mastic in Kinloch Rannoch?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Kinloch Rannoch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Check with your local planning authority. They’ll tell you if consent is needed.
How much does sand mastic cost in Kinloch Rannoch?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Broken panes
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
- Timber door frames
- Stone surrounds
- Brick reveals
- Tenement windows
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.

Do you need sand mastic in Kinloch Rannoch?
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They don’t suit the joint, and they usually need raking out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
In the older streets around The Old Church Of Rannoch, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
