About our sand mastic in Woodlands
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and is not always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. Typical jobs include gaps where the frame meets the masonry and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and brick reveals.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that won’t mark or attack it, which normally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why it’s worth doing now in Woodlands
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. Private landlords in Woodlands must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints from start to finish. For a tenement in Woodlands, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic isn’t too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

FAQs for Woodlands
Do you work for landlords with property near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Woodlands normally arranged?
The owners of the flats generally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When will the new mastic be hard?
The surface skins quite quickly and it hardens fully over a longer time. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can sand mastic be painted?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant.
Frames and glazing around Woodlands
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Historic houses like Tenement House (about 0.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Woodlands has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around St Silas' English Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as College of Piping are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Landlord and commercial work in Woodlands
Letting agents and landlords in Woodlands can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Common problems we fix in Woodlands
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint.

- Modern sealant on a period surround
