Window mastic in Kinning Park

DIY sealant or a professional job?

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 fails, we can still redo it.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Window mastic in Kinning Park, done properly

Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and hard, cracked sealant around windows.

Kinning Park is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that will not mark or attack it, which usually means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.

Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Windows and doors in Kinning Park

Historic houses like Tenement House (about 1.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Kinning Park has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Kinning Park 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.

For landlords with property near Dumbreck station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Historic houses such as Tenement House, about 1.5 miles north-east, show how far back building around Kinning Park goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Signs you need window mastic in Kinning Park

Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
  • Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
  • Whistling draughts around closed windows
  • Cracked sealant at the sill ends

If you look after a building such as Our Lady and St Margaret's Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Kinning Park: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords with property near Dumbreck station?

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.

Do you cover Kinning Park for window mastic?

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kinning Park is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?

Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.

What do you put in the joint?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

What the job involves on each surface

Composite doors

A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.

Patio & French doors

Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.

What happens on the day

There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are for a typical job. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Kinning Park, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.

  1. We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
  2. Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
  3. We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
  4. We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
  5. Every joint is checked before we leave.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Ask for a quote

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When something else is needed

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

  • A failed sealed unit that has misted up
  • Broken hinges, locks or handles
  • Damp problems in the wall away from the window

Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
