About our window mastic in Boquhan
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you’re dealing with mastic that has split away from the wall and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Boquhan is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Stirling.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Boquhan homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Schools such as Balfron High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Common questions in Boquhan
Will you come out to Boquhan?
Yes. Boquhan is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Boquhan?
All our work, in Boquhan and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a place like Boquhan, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Leave it or put it right?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a place like Boquhan, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Fully insured
Quotes for window mastic in Boquhan
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Boquhan
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
In and around Boquhan, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as that’s a job for a joiner.
