What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Pitcairngreen
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we will explain which is best for yours. If you’re dealing with open joints round the window box and mastic dropping out of the joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pitcairngreen and across Perth and Kinross.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pitcairngreen
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How the job changes by surface
Brick reveals
We rake out the old mastic and pack deep voids before the new mastic goes in.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
Why deal with it now?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. In a place like Pitcairngreen, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Pitcairngreen homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Bertha Park High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Perth station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a place like Pitcairngreen, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
