What affects the cost of window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Window mastic in Kilconquhar, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. If you have damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Kilconquhar, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kilconquhar
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. 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.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What window mastic looks like in Kilconquhar
Kilconquhar is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Kilconquhar is about 13 miles east of Glenrothes, in Fife.

When to call us in Kilconquhar
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
Around Kilconquhar, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors

- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
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.
