Window Mastic in Clovenstone
Window and door frames in Clovenstone need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- A bead that does not match the frame
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Window mastic in Clovenstone, done properly
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and composite doors, and people most often call us about old mastic that has gone black or come away and rushed sealant from a window installation.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, though many have since been replaced. In Clovenstone, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Common questions in Clovenstone
Do you work for landlords with property near Wester Hailes station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Clovenstone get organised?
It usually goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Clovenstone and the rest of Edinburgh, along with the rest of our area.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will match it as closely as we can.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a tenement in Clovenstone, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Frames and glazing around Clovenstone
Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Windows normally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
Rented homes near Wester Hailes station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. In the older streets around Wester Hailes Baptist Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t 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. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Clovenstone, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
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 the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Do not paint over the silicone
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
