About our window mastic in Easter Pencaitland
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. Common call-outs are for leaking joints at the ends of sills and a bead that doesn’t match the frame, across timber windows & doors, window sills and uPVC windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Easter Pencaitland depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Window mastic in Easter Pencaitland: local notes
Historic houses like Hamilton House (about 4.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Easter Pencaitland has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Hamilton House, about 4.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Easter Pencaitland. Letting a property close to Longniddry station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Easter Pencaitland: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Easter Pencaitland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Longniddry station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Easter Pencaitland, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
