Sand mastic in Turriff
We work across Turriff renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We’re often asked to deal with tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, on brick reveals, timber door frames and stone surrounds.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Turriff is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Leave it or put it right?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Signs you need sand mastic in Turriff
Most of it is simply age. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
Managing a site like Turriff Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the colour is chosen
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What sand mastic looks like in Turriff
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you live in an older home near St Ninian's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Avoid painting over the new mastic, which is the traditional advice. Ask us before any decorating around it.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Turriff need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Getting ready for the visit
