Window mastic for homes and businesses in Craigo
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Common call-outs are for a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall, on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Craigo is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
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.

Why act early in Craigo
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Windows and doors in Craigo
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, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Rented homes near Montrose 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
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much there is to do
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is

- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Signs you need window mastic in Craigo
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
For an older house near a landmark such as Aberluthnott Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
