When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Canonbie
Around Canonbie we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on composite doors, window sills and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Canonbie: your questions answered
Do you cover Canonbie for window mastic?
Yes, Canonbie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Canonbie 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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What does window mastic cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house in most cases. Around Canonbie, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Why act early in Canonbie
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Canonbie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us

Signs you need window mastic in Canonbie
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
In and around Canonbie, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Canonbie homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Canonbie Parish Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
