Window mastic in Auchinstarry
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before we start. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details. We work on patio & French doors, window sills and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant at the sill ends and draughty joints inside around the window.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Auchinstarry homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Our Lady's High, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Your questions about window mastic in Auchinstarry
Is Auchinstarry within the area you cover?
Yes, Auchinstarry is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Croy station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
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.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Auchinstarry
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Auchinstarry, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Faulty window hardware
- Condensation trapped between the panes
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window sills
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Why deal with it now?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Auchinstarry, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Over 20 years’ experience
- We are fully insured

When to call us in Auchinstarry
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
For landlords with property near Croy station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
