Your questions about window mastic in Bellshill
Is window mastic in Bellshill guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do window mastic in Bellshill?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bellshill is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone is not paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you’re decorating and we will choose accordingly.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.

Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For window mastic in Bellshill, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Landlord and commercial work in Bellshill
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.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Bellshill
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Look out for any of the following:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
If you look after a building such as Cardinal Newman High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Bellshill is rarely difficult, though older streets in the centre can be tight. For flats, mention the shared stair or door entry system.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
How to get a quote
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 add pictures by email if you can.
