Window mastic in Hatton
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and composite doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Hatton depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hatton
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In a place like Hatton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Your questions about window mastic in Hatton
Is Hatton in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Hatton is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Hatton within the area you cover?
Yes. Hatton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outside jobs in Hatton 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
What window mastic looks like in Hatton
Hatton is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Around Hatton, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Hatton itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
