FAQs for Maud
Can you do sand mastic in Maud?
Yes, Maud is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Maud?
Yes. Maud is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Sand mastic in Maud
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on sash and case windows, timber door frames and stone surrounds, and the jobs we see most are draughty sash windows at the surround and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for sand mastic
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
Maud homes and the weather
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.
Whether the job is in Maud itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

When to call us in Maud
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
The most common problems we see are:
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
Around Maud, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows and we leave things clean and tidy. 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.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
