Questions from Bents
Will you come out to Bents?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Bents for window mastic?
Yes, Bents is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not usually, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Bents, along with the rest of our area.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Generally, yes. Access is planned before any work starts.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Window mastic in Bents, done properly
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and whistling draughts around closed windows, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Bents, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What affects the quote in Bents
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
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 will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is

Landlord and commercial work in Bents
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
If you manage several properties in or around Bents, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house for a typical job. Outdoor work around Bents depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In an older home around Bents, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.

Signs you need window mastic in Bents
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.

- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rushed sealant from a window installation

Window mastic in Bents: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
Rented homes near Addiewell station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
