Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Montrose
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We work on timber door frames, sash and case windows and period & listed homes, and the jobs we see most are cracked mastic round a front door frame and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look.
In a town like Montrose, stone-built older streets normally sit alongside harled houses and newer estates, so windows range from sash and case in older buildings to uPVC on newer homes. Each needs the right sealant against the right wall.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Montrose and across Aberdeenshire.

Leave it or put it right?
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Private landlords in a town like Montrose must keep homes wind and watertight under the Repairing Standard. Replacing failed sealant early is simpler than dealing with a complaint.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What else we do in Montrose
Montrose homes and the weather
Montrose is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Montrose Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Montrose station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
