Collydean homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Markinch station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for draughts coming in around windows and doors and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, on window sills, uPVC windows and patio & French doors.
In and around a place like Collydean, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.

FAQs for Collydean
Can you do window mastic in Collydean?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Collydean is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Markinch station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
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.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Collydean?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Collydean and across Fife. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
How we quote for window mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.

Related advice
Do you need window mastic in Collydean?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Schools such as Glenrothes High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How much experience the applicator has
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if the job turns out different
