How we handle sand mastic in Spittalfield
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you are dealing with draughty sash windows at the surround and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Spittalfield is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Spittalfield questions
Is Spittalfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Spittalfield is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Spittalfield for sand mastic?
Yes, Spittalfield is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
Not right away. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Your local planning authority is the one to ask. They decide whether consent is needed for work to your windows.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Tell us the height and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show, so a neat, even finish matters.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Outdoor work around Spittalfield depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- 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 stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in

What affects the cost of sand mastic
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site

- The type of sealant required
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Why deal with it now?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. Around Spittalfield, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
