How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Window mastic in Craigends, done properly
The new joint doesn’t 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. We work on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after new windows were fitted and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Craigends depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What window mastic looks like in Craigends
Craigends is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Johnstone station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. In the older streets around St Fillan's R.C. Church and School, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Craigends is about 2 miles north of Johnstone, in Renfrewshire. Our applicators cover window mastic for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Craigends and the surrounding area.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

What else we do in Craigends
What happens if it’s left?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Craigends, 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.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need window mastic in Craigends
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Gryffe High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Your questions about window mastic in Craigends
Can you do window mastic in Craigends?

Will you come out to Craigends?
Yes, Craigends is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Generally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long will my window job take?
Allow a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
