About our window mastic in Abronhill
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. Typical jobs include leaking joints at the ends of sills and old mastic that has gone black or come away, on composite doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
In and around a place like Abronhill, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Your questions about window mastic in Abronhill
Can you do window mastic in Abronhill?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Abronhill is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cumbernauld station?

Do you guarantee window mastic?

What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
What does window mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.

Windows and doors in Abronhill
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Rented homes near Cumbernauld station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like Abronhill High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep timber frames painted
- Do not paint over the silicone
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
