About our window mastic in Broomhill
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details. If you have gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and cracked sealant at the sill ends, we can put it right.
Broomhill is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.

Frames and glazing around Broomhill
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. With historic houses such as Tenement House (about 2.2 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Broomhill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Broomhill Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Hyndland station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like Thornwood Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.

Your questions about window mastic in Broomhill
Do you work for landlords with property near Hyndland station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Broomhill for window mastic?
Yes, Broomhill is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
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.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Broomhill, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
