Questions from Claverhouse
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Claverhouse usually arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before any work starts.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not usually, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before any work starts.
How we handle window mastic in Claverhouse
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are black, perished sealant on frames and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Claverhouse, access is the first thing to plan.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Claverhouse as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Claverhouse
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Claverhouse, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- We agree the colour with you first
- Full insurance on every job
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

How we quote for window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What else we do in Claverhouse
Landlord and commercial work in Claverhouse
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Claverhouse, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What window mastic looks like in Claverhouse
Claverhouse 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. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Dundee station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What we’re called out for in Claverhouse
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Homes close to Mains 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.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
