Advice
Window mastic in Bogton, done properly
Around Bogton we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after new windows were fitted and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, across composite doors, window sills and timber windows & doors.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Bogton as everywhere else we work.

What window mastic looks like in Bogton
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Bogton, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.

Common questions in Bogton
Do you cover smaller places like Bogton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Bogton in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Bogton is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. 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.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
Allow a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan for it.
Signs you need window mastic in Bogton
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.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
For jobs in and around Bogton, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf usually come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
