Sand mastic in Standburn
We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. Typical jobs include tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and draughts and rain around sash boxes, on period & listed homes, timber door frames and brick reveals.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Standburn depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Standburn homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Standburn, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why act early in Standburn
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. In an older home around Standburn, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.

What else we do in Standburn
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Standburn need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
