Advice
About our window mastic in Coltness
The new joint does not have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Common call-outs are for whistling draughts around closed windows and gaps where the sill meets the wall, across window sills, composite doors and uPVC windows.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Coltness is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Window mastic in Coltness: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Cambusnethan House, about 2.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Coltness, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Schools such as St. Aidan's Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Common problems we fix in Coltness
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Rented homes near Cleland station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

How we quote for window mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Surface by surface
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.
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- We never seal over old sealant
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours. We confirm the timing with your quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
