Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Stormontfield
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and does not suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house and we can swap the silicone for it. Typical jobs include failed mastic on an exposed elevation and modern sealant on a period surround, across brick reveals, sash and case windows and tenement windows.
In and around a place like Stormontfield, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.

Sand mastic in Stormontfield: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For landlords with property near Perth station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. In an older home around Stormontfield, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us

Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
Sand mastic generally suits period timber windows best. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for listed or conservation-area properties.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
