Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Window mastic in Erskine, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. If you are dealing with draughty joints inside around the window and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, we can put it right, on uPVC windows, composite doors and patio & French doors alike.
Scottish weather is hard on window mastic, and a town like Erskine gets its share of wind and rain. The windows facing the weather are usually the first to leak.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Window mastic in Erskine: local notes
Erskine is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Managing a site like Park Mains High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What affects the quote in Erskine
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- Composite doors

Erskine: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Erskine?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dalmuir station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Most silicone can’t be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the joint suits the frame.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. A visit in Erskine needs three things planned: access, parking and where the work is. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- 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.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Do you need window mastic in Erskine?
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
If you let a flat or house near Dalmuir station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Why it’s worth doing now in Erskine
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. If you live in a flat in Erskine, failed sealant can send water to the neighbours below, and that’s much harder to put right.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
