Sand mastic in New Aberdeen
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it, so ask us before you decorate. We are often asked to deal with mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and cracked mastic round a front door frame, on brick reveals, tenement windows and stone surrounds.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. For a flat in New Aberdeen, access is the first thing to plan.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Windows and doors in New Aberdeen
New Aberdeen is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Aberdeen’s nickname, the Granite City, comes from its stone buildings, and granite is hard and dense, so any sealant against it needs clean, sound edges to grip.
Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's RC Church and Presbytery, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in New Aberdeen, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Do you need sand mastic in New Aberdeen?
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not move with the timber, and they generally need raking out.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Open joints round the window box
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert Gordon's College, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
- Sash and case windows
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.

Common questions in New Aberdeen
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in New Aberdeen affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on every job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Yes, we do this often. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In a city area like New Aberdeen, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
