Window & door mastic in Crawfordjohn, South Lanarkshire
Window mastic in Crawfordjohn from a team with over 20 years’ experience. 180+ five-star Google reviews and a 4.9 rating.
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How we handle window mastic in Crawfordjohn
Around Crawfordjohn we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. Common call-outs are for hard, cracked sealant around windows and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, across window sills, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Crawfordjohn depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Crawfordjohn questions
Do you cover smaller places like Crawfordjohn?
Yes. Crawfordjohn is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Crawfordjohn?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the joint suits the frame.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Crawfordjohn, along with the rest of our area.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Window mastic in Crawfordjohn: local notes
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Crawfordjohn Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Around Crawfordjohn, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Crawfordjohn is about 16 miles south of Carluke, in South Lanarkshire.

Why act early in Crawfordjohn
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. In an older home around Crawfordjohn, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
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. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Crawfordjohn depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
