Common problems we fix in Lintmill
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Around Lintmill, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
- Whether you can choose the colour
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Lintmill
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on composite doors, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about draughty joints inside around the window and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Lintmill depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
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.
Quotes for window mastic in Lintmill
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Landlord and commercial work in Lintmill
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Common questions in Lintmill
Is Lintmill within the area you cover?
Yes, Lintmill is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do window mastic in Lintmill?
Yes, Lintmill is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
Windows and doors in Lintmill
Lintmill is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In the older streets around St Mary's Collegiate Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, depending on how much there is to do. Outdoor work around Lintmill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
