How we quote for window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Window mastic in Greenrigg
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details for window mastic in Greenrigg. We work on composite doors, uPVC windows and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and white mastic on grey or black frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Greenrigg depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on how much there is to do. Outside jobs in Greenrigg need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
What happens if it’s left?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Windows and doors in Greenrigg
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 sound outside sealant is part of that.
Managing a site like Armadale Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

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
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
When to call us in Greenrigg
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
If you let a flat or house near Blackridge station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
