About our sand mastic in Tulloch
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and doesn’t suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. Common call-outs are for silicone on a period window that looks wrong and draughty sash windows at the surround, on timber door frames, period & listed homes and tenement windows.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Tulloch is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

FAQs for Tulloch
Do you cover Tulloch for sand mastic?
Yes, Tulloch is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Tulloch?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Check with your local planning authority. They’ll tell you if consent is needed for work to your windows.
What does sand mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
When will the new mastic be hard?
It takes a while. It skins first and hardens fully later and we’ll give you an idea for your job.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.

Surface by surface
Period and listed homes

Brick reveals
An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. Renewing the mastic closes it.
Sand mastic in Tulloch: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against 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.
Schools such as Bertha Park High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Outdoor work around Tulloch depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
