Sand mastic in North Feorline
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and does not suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. Typical jobs include old cement repairs round a window that have failed and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, across brick reveals, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around North Feorline is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. The gap round it is pointed with sand mastic.
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. We renew it the same way as on windows.
Common problems we fix in North Feorline
Timber frames move with the seasons. That movement opens up the mastic joint little by little.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
If you live in an older home near St Molios Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Frames and glazing around North Feorline
North Feorline is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around North Feorline, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

North Feorline: your questions answered
Do you cover North Feorline for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and North Feorline is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like North Feorline?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Yes. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned, then point it with sand mastic.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What is sand mastic?
It’s sand mixed with a linseed-oil-based binder, used between timber frames and stone or brick.
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. In a place like North Feorline, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
