How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Outdoor work around Nether Dallachy depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.

Surface by surface
Stone surrounds
We take care not to mark the stone when the old mastic comes out.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Let us know the floor and we’ll confirm access.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What happens if it’s left?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. In a place like Nether Dallachy, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What sand mastic looks like in Nether Dallachy
Nether Dallachy 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Whether the job is in Nether Dallachy itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Nether Dallachy, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
