Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Kinrossie
Across Kinrossie, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. Typical jobs include gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Outdoor work around Kinrossie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Why act early in Kinrossie
New mastic over crumbling mastic will not hold. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, 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 Kinrossie customers choose us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Old sealant always removed completely

Different surfaces, different methods
Period and listed homes
Many older homes were built with sand mastic round the windows. If your home is listed, ask your local planning authority about consent.
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
What else we do in Kinrossie
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Kinrossie, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
