Allandale Window Mastic
Problem with your window and door frames in Allandale? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- White mastic on grey or black frames
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep timber frames painted
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Window mastic in Allandale, done properly
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Allandale as everywhere else we work.

Frames and glazing around Allandale
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Schools such as Abronhill High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Cumbernauld station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
What we are called out for in Allandale
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
If you live in an older home near Haggs Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Why deal with it now?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In a place like Allandale, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door in most cases. For a place like Allandale, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
