Window Mastic in Househillwood
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Househillwood and across Glasgow. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills

How we handle window mastic in Househillwood
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, across aluminium frames, window sills and timber windows & doors.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, and plenty still have them. In Househillwood, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.

Surface by surface
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Househillwood
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Househillwood get organised?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Can you do window mastic in Househillwood?
Yes, Househillwood 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 it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and the area is left clean.

- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.

Advice
What we are called out for in Househillwood
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.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Historic houses such as Pollok House, about 1.3 miles east, show how far back building around Househillwood goes.

Windows and doors in Househillwood
Househillwood is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain. With historic houses such as Pollok House (about 1.3 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Househillwood as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Priesthill & Darnley station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Schools such as St. Paul's High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
