Windows and doors in Freuchie
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Freuchie, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

About our window mastic in Freuchie
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have untidy mastic left by window fitters and draughty joints inside around the window, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we are called out for in Freuchie
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- White mastic on grey or black frames
For landlords with property near Ladybank station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, and the area is left clean. Around Freuchie, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Why act early in Freuchie
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Freuchie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- You choose the colour before work begins

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
