Window mastic in Boreland: local notes
Boreland is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Boreland, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Boreland is about 17 miles north-west of Crieff, in Perth and Kinross. We carry out window mastic for householders, landlords and businesses in Boreland. Our area takes in 107 places across Perth and Kinross. Dundee is on our list too, about 43 miles from Boreland.

About our window mastic in Boreland
The new joint does not have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Typical jobs include hard, cracked sealant around windows and old mastic that has gone black or come away, on composite doors, window sills and timber windows & doors.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep timber frames painted
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the amount of work. For a place like Boreland, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Boreland
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we are called out for in Boreland
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. That’s what backing rod is for.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
For jobs in and around Boreland, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- What the cure time is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
