Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Maryton
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames usually get a flexible sealant instead and we will explain which is best for yours. We work on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and tenement windows, and common reasons people get in touch are old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating.
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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Period and listed homes
On a listed home or in a conservation area, the right material matters. Sand mastic is often the preferred finish.
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside so we finish it carefully.
Maryton questions
What guarantee comes with sand mastic in Maryton?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Maryton in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Maryton is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What is sand mastic?
It’s sand mixed with a linseed-oil-based binder, used between timber frames and stone or brick.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Angus.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Yes, it’s worth checking. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes 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.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Outside jobs in Maryton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
How we quote for sand mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Can I do it myself?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Signs you need sand mastic in Maryton
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
Homes close to St Andrew's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Before booking anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Why deal with it now?
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. In a place like Maryton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
