About our sand mastic in Scotlandwell
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames generally get a flexible sealant instead and we’ll explain which is best for yours. If you’re dealing with weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, we can help, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Scotlandwell as everywhere else we work.

What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
Most of our sand mastic work is on sash windows. Each joint round the box is raked out and renewed.
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. It finishes to look like part of the surround.
What we are called out for in Scotlandwell
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
If you let a flat or house near Lochgelly station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

What else we do in Scotlandwell
Leave it or put it right?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and finishes neatly against the masonry. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What sand mastic looks like in Scotlandwell
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around Portmoak Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
