Drumlithie homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For jobs in and around Drumlithie, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Window mastic in Drumlithie, done properly
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We’re often asked to deal with draughty joints inside around the window and mastic that has split away from the wall, across window sills, aluminium frames and uPVC windows.
In and around a place like Drumlithie, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Your questions about window mastic in Drumlithie
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Drumlithie?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do window mastic in Drumlithie?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Drumlithie is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame isn’t always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We check before we reseal.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
Why it’s worth doing now in Drumlithie
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit 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. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

When to call us in Drumlithie
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Around Drumlithie, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Drumlithie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
