Sand mastic in Madderty
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We work on tenement windows, sash and case windows and brick reveals, and people most often call us about modern sealant on a period surround and draughts and rain around sash boxes.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Madderty depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall so early renewal protects both.
Windows and doors in Madderty
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.

Why it’s worth doing now in Madderty
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants do not always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. In a place like Madderty, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Rain on the window surround works into any crack and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.

- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Open joints round the window box
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
Whether the job is in Madderty itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
