How we handle sand mastic in Sandford
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. We work on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and tenement windows, and people most often call us about old cement repairs round a window that have failed and failed mastic on an exposed elevation.
In and around a place like Sandford, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show so we finish it carefully.
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 it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Sandford may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
Frames and glazing around Sandford
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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Strathaven Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Around Sandford, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
