Sand mastic in Woodhall, done properly
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. If you are dealing with weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Woodhall is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why deal with it now?
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

FAQs for Woodhall
Is Woodhall within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Woodhall any different?
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.
How long will you be here?
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?

Frames and glazing around Woodhall
Woodhall is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Around Woodhall, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For landlords with property near Woodhall station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Outside jobs in Woodhall need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
