How we handle window mastic in Kirkton
Around Kirkton 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. We work on window sills, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about draughts coming in around windows and doors and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Kirkton depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
You’re 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.

When to call us in Kirkton
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
If you look after a building such as Inveralmond Community High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

What else we do in Kirkton
Window mastic in Kirkton: local notes
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to St Andrew's Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Livingston North station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Kirkton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Kirkton?
Yes, Kirkton is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Livingston North station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch and we will plan for it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Check the mastic once a year
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a place like Kirkton, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What happens if it’s left?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkton
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
