About our sand mastic in Scourie More
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 failed mastic on an exposed elevation and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, across stone surrounds, sash and case windows and period & listed homes.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Scourie More depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Scourie More: your questions answered
Is Scourie More in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Scourie More is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Scourie More any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What information do you need?

How long does sand mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Sand mastic in Scourie More: local notes
Scourie More is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In and around Scourie More, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Scourie More is in Highland. Jobs in Scourie More get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Scourie More is one of 253 places in Highland we cover.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
How we quote for sand mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Scourie More 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Paint over cracked mastic will not stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. In an older home around Scourie More, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
