Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors in Garmond, with a 12-month guarantee on every job. Call for a quick quote.
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outside jobs in Garmond need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
How to get a quote
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Advice
How we handle window mastic in Garmond
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; 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 sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Garmond, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How we quote for window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Garmond
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
When to call us in Garmond
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
For an older house near a landmark such as Monquhitter Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement

What else we do in Garmond
What window mastic looks like in Garmond
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Garmond, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

FAQs for Garmond
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Garmond?
All our work, in Garmond and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Garmond for window mastic?
Yes, Garmond is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Normally, yes. We plan safe access before the job.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What happens if it’s left?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In an older home around Garmond, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
