Sandstone Mortar

[Andrew[MG]]

Anyone know where I can buy this in Glasgow? Preferably I'll be able to get it in red to match the colour of the tenement. I'm just looking to do a small repair to the windowsill so don't need a lot.

Try masons mortar , I think they are in the govan area , they have all colours , including the red you ask ...

Ordinary cement-only mixes will be too hard for use on sandstone. I'd definitely recommend mason's mortar - they'll be able to give you premixed lime mortar the right colour, texture, etc. Just add water.

They also do various stone repair mixes, which might be useful of you are repairing a window cill.

Excellent, thanks for the tips guys. It's quite a small repair but I want to make sure that the sill doesn't sufferer further weather erosion which makes it a bit repair at some point in the future.
