How we handle window mastic in Fauldhouse
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are draughty joints inside around the window and mastic that has split away from the wall.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Fauldhouse depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outside jobs in Fauldhouse need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Also in Fauldhouse
What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
If you are in Fauldhouse and need window mastic, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
When to call us in Fauldhouse
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
If you let a flat or house near Fauldhouse station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Frames and glazing around Fauldhouse
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, 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.
Around Fauldhouse, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fauldhouse
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. 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.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
