When to call us in Broomridge
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Around Broomridge, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Window mastic in Broomridge
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and window sills, and people most often call us about rushed sealant from a window installation and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Broomridge and everywhere else we cover.

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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Check the mastic once a year
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Frames and glazing around Broomridge
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Stirling station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

FAQs for Broomridge
Is Broomridge in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Broomridge is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Broomridge?
Yes, Broomridge is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we’ll say so.
How many windows can you do in a day?
Allow a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In an older home around Broomridge, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house for a typical job. Outdoor work around Broomridge depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
