- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Port na Craig
Across Port na Craig, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you have gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, we can help, on timber door frames, stone surrounds and brick reveals alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What sand mastic looks like in Port na Craig
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. 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.
Homes close to Baptist Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Pitlochry station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you look after a building such as Croftinloan School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Port na Craig
New mastic over crumbling mastic will not hold. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

For landlords and businesses
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 that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Surface by surface
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We work on single windows or whole elevations.

How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Port na Craig?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
