How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outside jobs in Bridge of Earn need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
About our window mastic in Bridge of Earn
Around Bridge of Earn we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are untidy mastic left by window fitters and draughts coming in around windows and doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Bridge of Earn depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Bridge of Earn and everywhere else we cover.

Bridge of Earn questions
I let a flat near Perth station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Bridge of Earn in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Bridge of Earn is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Common problems we fix in Bridge of Earn
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
For an older house near a landmark such as Dunbarney Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Windows and doors in Bridge of Earn
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against 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 landlords with property near Perth station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Landlord and commercial work in Bridge of Earn
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why deal with it now?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
