Questions from Baillieston
Will you come out to Baillieston?
Yes, Baillieston is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do window mastic in Baillieston?
Yes, Baillieston is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as that’s a job for a joiner.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Window mastic in Baillieston: local notes
Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that won’t stain or attack it. Baillieston is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Rented homes near Baillieston station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you look after a building such as Bannerman High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Baillieston St Andrew's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
