Frames and glazing around Memsie
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Whether the job is in Memsie itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Sand mastic in Memsie, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on sash and case windows, timber door frames and period & listed homes, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and gaps round a timber door in stone or brick.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Memsie depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Memsie: your questions answered
Is sand mastic in Memsie guaranteed?
All our work, in Memsie and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Memsie in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Memsie is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home, and in listed buildings it may need consent. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. In a place like Memsie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
When to call us in Memsie
Age is the main cause. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
The most common problems we see are:
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
Around Memsie, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
