About window mastic in Clackmannanshire
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you will get a clear quote before work begins. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Clackmannanshire. We work on uPVC windows, window sills and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are draughty joints inside around the window and draughts coming in around windows and doors.
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.

Frames and weather across Clackmannanshire
Homes across Clackmannanshire range from period properties with timber or sash windows to new builds with uPVC. Walls facing the weather take the most punishment, wherever they are in Clackmannanshire.
Homes in Scotland come with their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. We work across Scotland, including Clackmannanshire. Clackmannanshire includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Alloa: If you let a flat or house near Alloa station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Homes close to Alloa North Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Look round the frames every year or so
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
Signs you need window mastic
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
