Sand mastic in Woodlands, done properly
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. We work on sash and case windows, brick reveals and timber door frames, and people most often call us about gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and silicone on a period window that looks wrong.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Woodlands is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Questions from Woodlands
Do you cover Woodlands for sand mastic?
Yes, Woodlands is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Woodlands?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
In most cases. We remove the silicone and clean the joint, then point it with sand mastic.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job, sand mastic included.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Woodlands and the rest of Aberdeenshire, along with the rest of our area.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Frames and glazing around Woodlands
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Comgall's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why it’s worth doing now in Woodlands
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. In an older home around Woodlands, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Cracked or broken glass
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Tenement windows
- Stone surrounds
- Brick reveals
- Timber door frames
- Sash and case windows
- Period & listed homes
Common problems we fix in Woodlands
Timber frames move with the seasons. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
In and around Woodlands, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
