Window & door mastic in Climpy, South Lanarkshire
Problem with your window and door frames in Climpy? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
About our window mastic in Climpy
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and black, perished sealant on frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens if it’s left?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Around Climpy, 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What window mastic looks like in Climpy
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Around Climpy, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you let a flat or house near Fauldhouse station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Questions from Climpy
Do you cover smaller places like Climpy?
Yes, Climpy is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Fauldhouse station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long will my window job take?
The work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before work begins.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
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.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Climpy need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
