Tullibardine Sand Mastic
Problem with your window and door surrounds in Tullibardine? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
About our sand mastic in Tullibardine
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. We are often asked to deal with mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and tenement windows.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Period and listed homes
Period homes look their best with traditional materials, and sand mastic is one of them.
Timber door frames
Round a period front door, sand mastic gives the right look.
Windows and doors in Tullibardine
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 failed outside joints work against that.
Managing a site like Community School of Auchterarder? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Gleneagles station? Then cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

What else we do in Tullibardine
What happens if it’s left?
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job usually takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It skins over quickly, but takes longer to harden fully.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
