Window mastic in Lilybank, 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’ll tell you. If you have black, perished sealant on frames and draughty joints inside around the window, we can help, whatever the surface.
Lilybank is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which generally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Window mastic in Lilybank: local notes
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. Historic houses like Provand's Lordship (about 2.1 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Lilybank 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.
Rented homes near Carntyne 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. Managing a site like Cardinal Winning Secondary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 2.1 miles north-west, show how far back building around Lilybank goes.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
How we quote for window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Leave it or put it right?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Lilybank, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a tenement in Lilybank, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

FAQs for Lilybank
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Carntyne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Lilybank in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Lilybank is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Generally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will use the nearest match.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the job changes by surface
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 they get particular care.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
