Window mastic in Drumoak, done properly
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. We work on timber windows & doors, window sills and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about leaking joints at the ends of sills and white mastic on grey or black frames.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Windows and doors in Drumoak
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Around Drumoak, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Drumoak
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Drumoak?
All our work, in Drumoak and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Drumoak in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Drumoak is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
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.
How long will my window job take?
A handful of frames is a short visit. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Signs you need window mastic in Drumoak
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
The most common problems we see are:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Homes close to Drumoak Kirk include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outdoor work around Drumoak 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.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
