How we handle sand mastic in Reddingmuirhead

- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
Managing a site like Graeme High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Windows and doors in Reddingmuirhead
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Brightons Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Polmont station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Why act early in Reddingmuirhead
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Reddingmuirhead
Do you work for landlords with property near Polmont station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Reddingmuirhead for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Reddingmuirhead is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
We will help you decide. Period homes often look best with sand mastic, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
What’s sand mastic made of?
It’s sand mixed with a linseed-oil-based binder, used between timber frames and stone or brick.
Different surfaces, different methods
Period and listed homes
Many older homes were built with sand mastic round the windows. If your home is listed, ask your local planning authority about consent.
Stone surrounds
Sand mastic sits naturally against stone. It finishes to look like part of the surround.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
