Sand mastic in Newburgh
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on period & listed homes, timber door frames and brick reveals, and common reasons people get in touch are window mastic to renew ahead of painting and mastic round period door frames that has failed.
In and around a place like Newburgh, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.

Windows and doors in Newburgh
Newburgh 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In and around Newburgh, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Advice
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
Questions from Newburgh
Do you cover smaller places like Newburgh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do sand mastic in Newburgh?
Yes, Newburgh is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on every job.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Newburgh and across Aberdeenshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Signs you need sand mastic in Newburgh
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
Whether the job is in Newburgh itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
