Window mastic in Friockheim, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you are dealing with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can help, on timber windows & doors, window sills and uPVC windows alike.
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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Friockheim
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Common questions in Friockheim
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Friockheim?
All our work, in Friockheim and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Friockheim within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we’ll say so.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house and we leave things clean and tidy. Outdoor work around Friockheim depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky

- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Broken hinges, locks or handles

What else we do in Friockheim
What window mastic looks like in Friockheim
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 Friockheim, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Around Friockheim, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What we are called out for in Friockheim
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
If you live in an older home near Friockheim And Kinnel Quoad Sacra Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
