About our window mastic in Bo'ness
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 will tell you. If you’re dealing with old mastic that has gone black or come away and untidy mastic left by window fitters, we can help.
Wind and rain in a Scottish town like Bo'ness find any gap around a frame. Frames on the side that takes the weather usually fail first.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Bo'ness and across Falkirk.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house for a typical job. In a Scottish town like Bo'ness, parking is normally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you’re in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints

What window mastic looks like in Bo'ness
Bo'ness is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Historic houses such as Culross Palace, about 3.3 miles north, show how far back building around Bo'ness goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. If you let a flat or house near Linlithgow station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Signs you need window mastic in Bo'ness
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
Managing a site like Bo'ness Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Bo'ness: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Linlithgow station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Does the coastal weather in Bo'ness affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long will my window job take?
The work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we will say so.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
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.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Leave it or put it right?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In Bo'ness, wind and rain soon get through failed outside joints. Inside, a failed seal around a bath or shower lets water into floors and ceilings.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
