Questions from Kirktown
Do you cover smaller places like Kirktown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Kirktown?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
That depends on your windows. Period windows in stone or brick normally suit sand mastic and newer frames usually get a flexible sealant.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, sand mastic included.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Sand mastic in Kirktown
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we will talk through which suits your home. We work on tenement windows, sash and case windows and period & listed homes, and people most often call us about mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and wind and rain getting in round a sash window.
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, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you need sand mastic in Kirktown?
Some old mastic was never deep enough. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
Homes close to St Fergus Parish Church and Churchyard include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use

Windows and doors in Kirktown
Kirktown is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Kirktown, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Kirktown
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. In an older home around Kirktown, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
