Sand mastic for sash & case windows in Kinross, Perth and Kinross
Sand mastic across Kinross and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
Why act early in Kinross
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic won’t stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. In a place like Kinross, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Old sealant always removed completely

About our sand mastic in Kinross
Across Kinross, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We are often asked to deal with crumbling sand mastic round a window and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, on brick reveals, sash and case windows and period & listed homes.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What sand mastic looks like in Kinross
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to St Paul's Episcopal Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Rain on the window surround works into any crack and loosens it further. Exposed elevations normally fail first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kinross High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
