About our window mastic in Hyndland
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We’re often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, on window sills, patio & French doors 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 Hyndland, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Hyndland and across Glasgow.

Common problems we fix in Hyndland
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
In the older streets around Hyndland Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a city area like Hyndland, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Hyndland
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Hyndland, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Hyndland
- We never seal over old sealant
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- You choose the colour before work begins
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Hyndland questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hyndland station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Hyndland get organised?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Hyndland homes and the weather
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. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
Schools such as Hyndland Secondary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Hyndland station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
