Sand mastic in Tullibody, done properly
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. We work on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and tenement windows, and people most often call us about cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and failed mastic on an exposed elevation.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why act early in Tullibody
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. 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.

Common questions in Tullibody
Do you work for landlords with property near Alloa station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Tullibody?
Yes, Tullibody is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed 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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Tullibody.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

What sand mastic looks like in Tullibody
Tullibody is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In the older streets around Tullibody Old Kirk, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Alloa station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Other services in Tullibody
Different surfaces, different methods
Sash and case windows
Most of our sand mastic work is on sash windows. We renew the mastic round each box.
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We work on single windows or whole elevations.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
