How we handle window mastic in Jordanhill
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. If you are dealing with whistling draughts around closed windows and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can put it right, on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and window sills alike.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Jordanhill, access is the first thing to plan.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for window mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Your questions about window mastic in Jordanhill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Scotstounhill station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do window mastic in Jordanhill?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Jordanhill is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. You will get a timescale with the quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
When to call us in Jordanhill
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. That’s what backing rod is for.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Schools such as Jordanhill College are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Window mastic in Jordanhill: local notes
Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it. Jordanhill 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.
Rented homes near Scotstounhill station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around Jordanhill Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
