Wallacestone Sand Mastic
We cover Wallacestone for traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Modern sealant on a period surround
Why act early in Wallacestone
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Sand mastic in Wallacestone
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. If you have mastic round period door frames that has failed and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Wallacestone 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 our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Falkirk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Stone surrounds
Stone surrounds suit sand mastic well. The finish blends with the masonry.
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show so we finish it carefully.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Putty and glazing repairs
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What sand mastic looks like in Wallacestone
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Polmont station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you look after a building such as Graeme High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Brightons Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
