Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sand mastic in Mossend, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for draughts and rain around sash boxes and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, on sash and case windows, tenement windows and timber door frames.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Mossend is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Advice
When to call us in Mossend
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not move with the timber and we normally remove them.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holy Family Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
Frames and glazing around Mossend
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, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Bellshill station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you live in an older home near Bellshill Central Parish church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
