Window mastic in Bankglen
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can help.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.

What affects the quote in Bankglen
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Windows and doors in Bankglen
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around Martyrs Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Bankglen may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Bankglen: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Bankglen?
Yes. Bankglen is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Bankglen in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bankglen is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before work begins.
Common problems we fix in Bankglen
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
If you let a flat or house near New Cumnock station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
