About our window mastic in Corrie Common
Around Corrie Common we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We’re often asked to deal with white mastic on grey or black frames and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, on window sills, aluminium frames and uPVC windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Corrie Common depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Signs you need window mastic in Corrie Common
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
If you let a flat or house near Lockerbie station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Check the mastic once a year
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house from start to finish. Around Corrie Common, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.

Why it’s worth doing now in Corrie Common
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In an older home around Corrie Common, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What window mastic looks like in Corrie Common
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Corrie Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
