Window mastic for homes and businesses in East Saltoun
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. Typical jobs include gaps left after new windows were fitted and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, on timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and patio & French doors.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around East Saltoun is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in East Saltoun and across East Lothian.

How we quote for window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house for a typical job. Outdoor work around East Saltoun 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Faulty window hardware
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
Windows and doors in East Saltoun
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, 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 sound outside sealant is part of that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Saltoun Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. In and around East Saltoun, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from East Saltoun
Do you cover East Saltoun for window mastic?
Yes, East Saltoun is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in East Saltoun?
All our work, in East Saltoun and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before we start, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
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 look for the cause first.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
