Window mastic in Elrick, done properly
Homes in Elrick have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on aluminium frames, window sills and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant at the sill ends and mastic that has split away from the wall.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Elrick homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional 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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Westhill Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Do you need window mastic in Elrick?
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Around Elrick, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. 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.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Silicone can’t normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
