Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

How we handle window mastic in Burntisland
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. Typical jobs include mastic that has split away from the wall and untidy mastic left by window fitters, on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors.
In and around a place like Burntisland, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Faulty window hardware
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
FAQs for Burntisland
Do you cover smaller places like Burntisland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Burntisland any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Fife.
How much does window mastic cost in Burntisland?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A handful of frames is a short visit, while a whole house takes longer. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. 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, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Frames and glazing around Burntisland
Burntisland is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For landlords with property near Burntisland station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as Kirkton, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
