Window Mastic in Braehead and Broomridge
Our applicators work in Braehead and Broomridge on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
About our window mastic in Braehead and Broomridge
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and black, perished sealant on frames.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows

Window mastic in Braehead and Broomridge: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wallace High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Common questions in Braehead and Broomridge
Is Braehead and Broomridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Braehead and Broomridge is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stirling 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 will send you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
When to call us in Braehead and Broomridge
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Look out for any of the following:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Letting a property close to Stirling station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
