Sand mastic in West Haven
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Out comes the old, loose mastic, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. Common call-outs are for crumbling sand mastic round a window and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, on brick reveals, sash and case windows and tenement windows.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Angus.

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs

What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

West Haven homes and the weather
West Haven is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Holyrood Episcopal Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Carnoustie High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Carnoustie station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
West Haven is about 1 mile east of Carnoustie, in Angus.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick reveals
Gaps between frame and brick let in rain and draughts. Renewing the mastic closes it.
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Cracked or broken glass
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in West Haven
Do you work for landlords with property near Carnoustie station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in West Haven?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can sand mastic be painted?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll talk you through it.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in West Haven?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
That depends on your windows. Period windows in stone or brick normally suit sand mastic and newer frames usually get a flexible sealant.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Yes, it’s a common request. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic beds in well.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.
