What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
How we handle window mastic in Cadder
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. If you have white mastic on grey or black frames and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Cadder depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Around Cadder, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Quotes for window mastic in Cadder
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
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.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cadder
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a place like Cadder, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Cadder homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Provand's Lordship (about 4 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cadder as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In the older streets around Cadder Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Bishopbriggs station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

FAQs for Cadder
Can you do window mastic in Cadder?
Yes, Cadder is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bishopbriggs station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone cannot be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Common problems we fix in Cadder
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Managing a site like Bishopbriggs Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
