Window mastic in Eyemouth
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. Common call-outs are for cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, on window sills, composite doors and timber windows & doors.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In a place like Eyemouth, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.
Can new window sealant be painted?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Tell us if you’re decorating and we will choose accordingly.
How long will my window job take?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you need window mastic in Eyemouth?
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughty joints inside around the window
In and around Eyemouth, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Windows and doors in Eyemouth
Eyemouth is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Reston station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
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.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outdoor work around Eyemouth depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
