Window mastic in Gateside, done properly
Around Gateside we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you have old mastic that has gone black or come away and whistling draughts around closed windows, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

Signs you need window mastic in Gateside
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Around Gateside, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Gateside
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

What else we do in Gateside
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gateside
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.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
What window mastic looks like in Gateside
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
If you let a flat or house near Glengarnock station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
