Advice
Sand mastic in Wester Balgedie, done properly
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. Common call-outs are for mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and mastic dropping out of the joint, across stone surrounds, brick reveals and period & listed homes.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Wester Balgedie is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wester Balgedie
New mastic over crumbling mastic will not hold. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new work lasts. In an older home around Wester Balgedie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Over 20 years’ experience

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Leave the new mastic unpainted, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.

Frames and glazing around Wester Balgedie
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, 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.
In the older streets around Easter Balgedie church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
