How we handle window mastic in Auchterarder
Homes in Auchterarder have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. Typical jobs include mastic that has split away from the wall and gaps where the sill meets the wall, on composite doors, window sills and uPVC windows.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Auchterarder is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
What affects the quote in Auchterarder
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
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 will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.

Common problems we fix in Auchterarder
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
For landlords with property near Gleneagles station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Faulty window hardware
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Auchterarder questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Gleneagles station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Auchterarder within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before any work starts, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before any work starts.
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Windows and doors in Auchterarder
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, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Auchterarder Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Community School of Auchterarder? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
