About our sand mastic in Newhills
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we will talk through which suits your home. We work on brick reveals, stone surrounds and sash and case windows, and people most often call us about cracked mastic round a front door frame and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Frames and glazing around Newhills
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. 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.
Managing a site like Bucksburn Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Old Parish Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Newhills is about 4 miles north-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Newhills gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. We cover 63 towns and villages across Aberdeen.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several for a typical job. Outside jobs in Newhills need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What we are called out for in Newhills
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Exposed elevations normally fail first.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
Letting a property close to Dyce station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Why act early in Newhills
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 Newhills, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
