Window mastic in Hillington, done properly
Homes in Hillington have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you are dealing with hard, cracked sealant around windows and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Hillington, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, 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 lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hillington
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Hillington, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
FAQs for Hillington

Yes, Hillington is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will there be a smell?

Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before work begins.

Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Hillington, along with the rest of our area.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You will know the timing when we quote.
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. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Hillington, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Hillington homes and the weather
The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Windows normally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say. Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it.
Managing a site like Rosshall Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near St Nicholas' Cardonald Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common problems we fix in Hillington
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
If you let a flat or house near Hillington East station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What else we do in Hillington
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Look round the frames every year or so
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
