About our sand mastic in Padanaram
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we’ll explain which is best for yours. We work on timber door frames, tenement windows and stone surrounds, and people most often call us about weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked.
In and around a place like Padanaram, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Angus.

Leave it or put it right?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. In a place like Padanaram, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Padanaram questions
Is sand mastic in Padanaram guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Padanaram for sand mastic?
Yes, Padanaram 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.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Padanaram and the rest of Angus.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. If you’re redecorating the window, ask us first and we’ll talk you through it.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
Sand mastic normally suits period timber windows best. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we’ll explain why.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
What affects the cost of sand mastic
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Around Padanaram, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Padanaram homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Historic houses like Glamis Castle (about 3.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Padanaram has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
