How we handle window mastic in Fergushill
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you have leaking joints at the ends of sills and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What affects the quote in Fergushill
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Look round the frames every year or so
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Fergushill homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. With historic houses such as Montgreenan (about 1 mile north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fergushill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Irvine Royal Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Historic houses such as Montgreenan, about 1 mile north-east, show how far back building around Fergushill goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
Letting a property close to Kilwinning station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
