About our sand mastic in Reraig
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. We’re often asked to deal with wind and rain getting in round a sash window and window mastic to renew ahead of painting, across tenement windows, period & listed homes and brick reveals.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. In a place like Reraig, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Sash and case windows
Sash windows are where we do most sand mastic work. We renew the mastic round each box.
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before the new mastic goes in.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Outdoor work around Reraig depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Reraig homes and the weather
Reraig 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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain.
For landlords with property near Kyle of Lochalsh station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Questions from Reraig
Does the coastal weather in Reraig affect outside sealant?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kyle of Lochalsh station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we are called out for in Reraig
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
If you live in an older home near Lochalsh Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
