How window mastic works in North Lanarkshire

Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on window sills, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames.

  1. We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
  2. We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
  3. We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
  4. New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
  5. We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.

Window mastic across North Lanarkshire: local notes

In North Lanarkshire, window mastic work takes in houses, flats, conservatories and commercial glazing, in Motherwell, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge and well beyond. Every outside joint is sealed dry and clean, so the forecast plays its part.

The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. Sealants for jobs in North Lanarkshire are chosen with that in mind.

Motherwell: If you look after a building such as Braidhurst High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Motherwell station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

  • Keep timber frames painted
  • Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
  • Paint up to the joint, not over it
  • Keep jet washers away from the mastic

Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.

Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

How the job changes by surface

Timber windows & doors

Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as that’s a job for a joiner.

Patio & French doors

Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.

What affects the quote in North Lanarkshire

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The size of the job
  • How many areas need sealing
  • Any working-time requirements on site

Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we need to know

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Can I do it myself?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

For landlords and businesses

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in North Lanarkshire

Do you guarantee window mastic?

Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?

The work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.

How much does window mastic cost in North Lanarkshire?

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.

What should I tell you?

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?

Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
