What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Timber that has rotted
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Masonry that needs repairing
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Temple
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. If you have draughty sash windows at the surround and mastic dropping out of the joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Temple is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

What happens if it’s left?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. In a tenement flat in Temple, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Temple homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around older windows and doors to keep out.
Rented homes near Anniesland station change hands often, and older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Managing a site like Knightswood Secondary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Where are you based?

Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish but the decision is theirs.
What guarantee comes with the work?

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We can do one window or several.
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear, so their mastic can fail sooner. We rake it out and renew it.
Do you need sand mastic in Temple?
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
