Window mastic in Edzell, done properly
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are draughts coming in around windows and doors and draughty joints inside around the window.
In and around a place like Edzell, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Edzell may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Your questions about window mastic in Edzell
Will you come out to Edzell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Edzell?
All our work, in Edzell and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas 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. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Frames and glazing around Edzell
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, 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 failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Edzell Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.

Common problems we fix in Edzell
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Around Edzell, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
