About our sand mastic in Tibbermore
Sand mastic does not last for ever and gaps open up round the frame. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. If you have open joints round the window box and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, we can help.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Tibbermore and across Perth and Kinross.

Tibbermore homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Perth station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Homes close to Tibbermore Parish Kirk include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why act early in Tibbermore
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Get any rot dealt with first
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Outside jobs in Tibbermore need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
