About our window mastic in Boarhills
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. Common call-outs are for leaking joints at the ends of sills and hard, cracked sealant around windows, across aluminium frames, patio & French doors and composite doors.
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, you get the same one-year guarantee in Boarhills and across Fife.

What we are called out for in Boarhills
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Around Boarhills, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. Those corners get the most care.
Leave it or put it right?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Around Boarhills, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Boarhills homes and the weather
Boarhills is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is 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, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Boarhills Parish Church And Churchyard include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the amount of work. Outdoor work around Boarhills depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
