- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Window mastic in Burnbrae, done properly
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When to call us in Burnbrae
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door

Window mastic in Burnbrae: local notes
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Burnbrae, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Burnbrae
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We check before we reseal.
