Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
What else we do in Corrie
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber door frames
A neat sand mastic joint round a front door suits a period home.
Tenement and terrace windows
In shared buildings, the windows may be part of a wider repair so it’s worth checking responsibilities.
Frames and glazing around Corrie
Corrie 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’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Corrie is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain.
Whether the job is in Corrie itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Corrie questions
Do you cover smaller places like Corrie?
Yes, Corrie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do sand mastic in Corrie?
Yes, Corrie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
We’ll help you decide. Sand mastic suits many period homes, and modern sealants suit newer frames.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows and we leave things clean and tidy. Around Corrie, distance and access matter more than parking.

Related advice
Why act early in Corrie
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic suits the building and blends with the stone or brick. In a place like Corrie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
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.
Why us?
- We are fully insured
- One-year guarantee on every job
