Memsie Window Mastic
Window and door frames in Memsie need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
Window mastic in Memsie, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. We work on aluminium frames, window sills and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about gaps where the sill meets the wall and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Memsie as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- 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
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Windows and doors in Memsie
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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Memsie, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Memsie, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

FAQs for Memsie
Is window mastic in Memsie guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Memsie?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Generally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. We will tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
