How we handle sand mastic in Walston
We work across Walston renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand for a neat, traditional finish. If you have gaps where the frame meets the masonry and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can put it right, on brick reveals, tenement windows and stone surrounds alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Frames and glazing around Walston
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Walston Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Around Walston, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Period & listed homes
- Stone surrounds
- Timber door frames
- Tenement windows
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. If you are redecorating, ask us first.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Walston 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.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
