Sand mastic in Kinlochewe
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you have gaps where the frame meets the masonry and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Kinlochewe, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Kinlochewe: your questions answered
Will you come out to Kinlochewe?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with sand mastic in Kinlochewe?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Decayed frames that need repair

How we quote for sand mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Why it’s worth doing now in Kinlochewe
Filling over old, loose mastic does not last. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. In an older home around Kinlochewe, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
