About window mastic in East Dunbartonshire
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and window sills, and the jobs we see most are mastic that’s falling out in pieces and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.

Windows and doors across East Dunbartonshire
East Dunbartonshire has everything from older homes with timber frames to newer ones with uPVC. Exposed walls are where window sealant generally fails first.
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 East Dunbartonshire.
Kirkintilloch: For landlords with property near Lenzie station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. In the older streets around Kirkintilloch, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What we are called out for in East Dunbartonshire
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
Why act early?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What product goes in the joint

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep timber frames painted
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. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
