How we handle sand mastic in Udny Station
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it and we will advise if you are redecorating. We work on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and period & listed homes, and common reasons people get in touch are patchy fillers round a sash window and wind and rain getting in round a sash window.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Udny Station depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

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
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours, so check who is responsible first.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Udny Station may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Frames and glazing around Udny Station
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home 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.
Around Udny Station, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Why deal with it now?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. In a place like Udny Station, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Udny Station: your questions answered
Can you do sand mastic in Udny Station?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Udny Station is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on sand mastic in Udny Station?
All our work, in Udny Station and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Talk to us before any painting near it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
We will talk it through with you. Period homes often look best with sand mastic and newer frames suit modern sealant.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
When to call us in Udny Station
