Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Whiteface
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. If you have gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Whiteface depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several in most cases. Outdoor work around Whiteface depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Windows and doors in Whiteface
Whiteface is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Whiteface, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Whiteface
Does the coastal weather in Whiteface affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is Whiteface in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Whiteface is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like but the decision is theirs.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

What else we do in Whiteface
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us

Do you need sand mastic in Whiteface?
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
For jobs in and around Whiteface, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
