What window mastic looks like in Craigiebank
Craigiebank is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces 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.
In the older streets around Craigiebank Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Dundee station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Schools such as Craigie High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Window mastic in Craigiebank
Around Craigiebank we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, though many have since been replaced. In Craigiebank, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Craigiebank

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Craigiebank, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

What affects the cost of window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Craigiebank, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Craigiebank: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does the coastal weather in Craigiebank affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep timber frames painted
Silicone can’t normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before we start. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
