Window & door mastic in Hillyland, Perth and Kinross
Our applicators work in Hillyland on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
About our window mastic in Hillyland
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are rushed sealant from a window installation and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What window mastic looks like in Hillyland
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For landlords with property near Perth station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What else we do in Hillyland
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Leave it or put it right?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Signs you need window mastic in Hillyland
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
If you look after a building such as Perth High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Hillyland: your questions answered
I let a flat near Perth station. Can you help?

Do you cover smaller places like Hillyland?
Yes, Hillyland is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long should I leave it?

Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
