How we handle window mastic in Arthurlie
Homes in Arthurlie have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on timber windows & doors, window sills and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are whistling draughts around closed windows and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Arthurlie is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Your questions about window mastic in Arthurlie
Do you cover smaller places like Arthurlie?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Arthurlie in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Arthurlie is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we’re called out for in Arthurlie
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
If you look after a building such as Barrhead High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What window mastic looks like in Arthurlie
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Historic houses like Pollok House (about 3.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Arthurlie has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Barrhead station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Bourock Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep timber frames painted
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Why it’s worth doing now in Arthurlie
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In an older home around Arthurlie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
