Windows and doors in Dairsie
With historic houses such as Hill of Tarvit (about 4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Dairsie as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Leuchars station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

About our window mastic in Dairsie
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. Common call-outs are for draughty joints inside around the window and rushed sealant from a window installation, across aluminium frames, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We check before we reseal.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
When to call us in Dairsie
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Historic houses such as Hill of Tarvit, about 4 miles south-west, show how far back building around Dairsie goes.

Advice
Quotes for window mastic in Dairsie
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
