How we handle window mastic in Livingston
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you’ll get a clear quote before we start. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Livingston. We’re often asked to deal with draughty joints inside around the window and leaking joints at the ends of sills, on timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and window sills.
In a town like Livingston, stone-built older streets generally sit alongside harled houses and newer estates, and windows range from older sash and case to modern uPVC. The sealant has to suit both the frame and the wall it sits in.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Window mastic in Livingston: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
Letting a property close to Livingston North station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. 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.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
What we’re called out for in Livingston
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Livingston questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Livingston North station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Livingston?
All our work, in Livingston and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
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 we pay close attention there.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. We will point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
What else we do in Livingston
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, including the tidy-up. In a Scottish town like Livingston, parking is normally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you’re in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
