Hurlet is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which generally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Frames and glazing around Hurlet
Historic houses like Pollok House (about 2.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Hurlet has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Windows normally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
Schools such as St Andrew's Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Pollok House, about 2.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hurlet, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that’s what we find.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Signs you need window mastic in Hurlet
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
If you let a flat or house near Nitshill station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Your questions about window mastic in Hurlet
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Hurlet?
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 do not.
Can you do window mastic in Hurlet?
Yes, Hurlet is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door for a typical job. Parking in city streets around Hurlet can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
