About our window mastic in Camperdown
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on aluminium frames, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are rushed sealant from a window installation and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
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.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Why act early in Camperdown
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Camperdown, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Camperdown may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Camperdown homes and the weather
Camperdown is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Menzieshill High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Invergowrie station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Common problems we fix in Camperdown
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Camperdown House, about 0.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Camperdown.

Your questions about window mastic in Camperdown
Is Camperdown within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Invergowrie station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long will my window job take?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
