Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
FAQs for Anniesland Cross
I let a flat near Anniesland station. Can you help?
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 Anniesland Cross usually arranged?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch and we’ll plan for it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Advice
When to call us in Anniesland Cross
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Homes close to All Saints Church include some older properties, and 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
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
What window mastic looks like in Anniesland Cross
The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds. Historic houses like Tenement House (about 2.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Anniesland Cross 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.
Rented homes near Anniesland station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you look after a building such as Knightswood Secondary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. For landlords in Anniesland Cross, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
