How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, including the tidy-up. In a city area like Rosshall, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.

What sand mastic looks like in Rosshall
Rosshall is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain. With historic houses such as Pollok House (about 2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rosshall as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Crookston station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Historic houses such as Pollok House, about 2 miles south-east, show how far back building around Rosshall goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
A neat sand mastic joint round a front door suits a period home.
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show, so a neat, even finish matters.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Rosshall
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rosshall Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
