Your questions about sand mastic in North Kessock
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like North Kessock any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Inverness station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How much does sand mastic cost in North Kessock?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Timber that has rotted
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why act early in North Kessock
New mastic over crumbling mastic will not hold. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. In an older home around North Kessock, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
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. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.

What sand mastic looks like in North Kessock
North Kessock is within about 1 mile of 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Historic houses such as Old Allangrange House, about 2.2 miles north-west, show how far back building around North Kessock goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Rented homes near Inverness station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you look after a building such as Inverness High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
