What affects the cost of window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Window mastic in Garrowhill, done properly
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. 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. Typical jobs include old mastic that has gone black or come away and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, across patio & French doors, composite doors and aluminium frames.
In and around a place like Garrowhill, 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 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf usually come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
When to call us in Garrowhill
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Letting a property close to Garrowhill station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Why it’s worth doing now in Garrowhill
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Colour picked to suit the job
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Garrowhill homes and the weather
Historic houses like Provand's Lordship (about 4.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Garrowhill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
Managing a site like Bannerman High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Garrowhill, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
