Window mastic in Kennishead: local notes
Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that won’t mark it. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Pollok House, about 1 mile north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Kennishead. For landlords with property near Kennishead station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like Hillpark Secondary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Kennishead is about 2 miles north-west of Giffnock, in Glasgow. Jobs in Kennishead get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our Glasgow coverage runs to 183 places, and Kennishead is one of them.

What else we do in Kennishead
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Quotes for window mastic in Kennishead
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kennishead
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. For landlords in Kennishead, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.

Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote and we will plan for it.
What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Kennishead, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
