- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Avongrove
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you have cold air getting in at the frame edge and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can put it right, on window sills, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors alike.
In and around a place like Avongrove, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Your questions about window mastic in Avongrove
Is Avongrove in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Avongrove is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Avongrove within the area you cover?

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Silicone can’t usually be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Why deal with it now?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What else we do in Avongrove
Window mastic in Avongrove: local notes
With historic houses such as Cambusnethan House (about 4.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Avongrove as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional 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.
If you live in an older home near Hamilton South Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Earnock High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
