Window mastic for homes and businesses in Auchenshuggle
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. If you have whistling draughts around closed windows and cracked sealant at the sill ends, we can put it right.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that will not mark or attack it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Frames and glazing around Auchenshuggle
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
For an older house near a landmark such as Victoria Tollcross Church and Hall, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Carmyle station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

When to call us in Auchenshuggle
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Schools such as Cardinal Winning Secondary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a city area like Auchenshuggle, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
How we quote for window mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Questions from Auchenshuggle
Can you do window mastic in Auchenshuggle?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Auchenshuggle is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Carmyle station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How many windows can you do in a day?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
