How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outdoor work around Hunter's Town depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Window mastic in Hunter's Town
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. If you have mastic that’s falling out in pieces and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can put it right.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hunter's Town
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Questions from Hunter's Town
Do you work for landlords with property near Golf Street station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Hunter's Town?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Hunter's Town?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before work begins.
Hunter's Town homes and the weather
Hunter's Town is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Schools such as Carnoustie High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Golf Street station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Do you need window mastic in Hunter's Town?
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Look out for these signs:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
For an older house near a landmark such as Carnoustie Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
