Frames and glazing around Armadale
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.
Letting a property close to Armadale station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

When to call us in Armadale
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Managing a site like Armadale Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What else we do in Armadale
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
Questions from Armadale
Will you come out to Armadale?
Yes. Armadale is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Armadale station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before we start, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we will say so.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What affects the quote in Armadale
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a place like Armadale, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Around Armadale, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job
