Why it’s worth doing now in Cunninghamhead
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

About our window mastic in Cunninghamhead
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Questions from Cunninghamhead
Do you cover smaller places like Cunninghamhead?
Yes. Cunninghamhead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Cunninghamhead for window mastic?
Yes, Cunninghamhead is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you need window mastic in Cunninghamhead?
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Historic houses such as Girgenti House, about 1.2 miles north-west, show how far back building around Cunninghamhead goes.

Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Cunninghamhead depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Cunninghamhead homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Girgenti House (about 1.2 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cunninghamhead as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
