Sand mastic in Kinmundy, done properly
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. If you’re dealing with gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, we can put it right.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the quote in Kinmundy
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Can I do it myself?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kinmundy
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.

Windows and doors in Kinmundy
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as New Machar Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Dyce station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you live in an older home near Newmachar Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
