Window mastic in Glenbrook, done properly
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Common call-outs are for leaking joints at the ends of sills and mastic that has split away from the wall, across aluminium frames, composite doors and patio & French doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Glenbrook depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.

Is Glenbrook in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Glenbrook is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the quote in Glenbrook
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

Frames and glazing around Glenbrook
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.
Schools such as Balerno Community High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Curriehill station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What’s near Glenbrook

Common problems we fix in Glenbrook
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
In the older streets around Balerno Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
