What affects the cost of window mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Window mastic in Kettlebridge
Around Kettlebridge we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. Common call-outs are for cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, across uPVC windows, composite doors and window sills.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Kettlebridge depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Signs you need window mastic in Kettlebridge
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
In the older streets around Kettle 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
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- Is VAT in the price?
- What product goes in the joint
What happens if it’s left?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

- Every job guaranteed for a year
- We agree the colour with you first
- Fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Kettlebridge need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Questions from Kettlebridge
I let a flat near Ladybank station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Kettlebridge for window mastic?
Yes, Kettlebridge is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A handful of frames is a short visit. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Kettlebridge homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Ladybank station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Don’t paint over the silicone
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
