How we handle window mastic in Burnfoot
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, the work is priced before anything is done. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Burnfoot. If you have white mastic on grey or black frames and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can help, on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors alike.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.

How we quote for window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
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.
When to call us in Burnfoot
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That is what backing rod is for.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
If you let a flat or house near Carluke station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the colour is chosen
Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We agree the colour with you first

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What window mastic looks like in Burnfoot
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. 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.
Homes close to Kirkmuirhill Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Lesmahagow High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Is Burnfoot in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Burnfoot is within the area we cover. We work across all 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Burnfoot?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
