How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Outdoor work around Balgowan depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
How to get a quote

Related advice
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Balgowan
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. Typical jobs include whistling draughts around closed windows and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, across composite doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Balgowan depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.

Balgowan: your questions answered
Is Balgowan in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Balgowan is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is window mastic in Balgowan guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Usually, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before any work starts.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Check the mastic once a year
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 email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.

Frames and glazing around Balgowan
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Balgowan, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we are called out for in Balgowan
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
For jobs in and around Balgowan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
What happens if it’s left?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. In a place like Balgowan, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
