Window mastic in Milngavie, done properly
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on composite doors, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors.
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 one-year guarantee, the same in Milngavie as everywhere else we work.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

Frames and glazing around Milngavie
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Douglas Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Milngavie station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Milngavie questions
Can you do window mastic in Milngavie?
Yes, Milngavie is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Milngavie?
Yes. Milngavie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How much does window mastic cost in Milngavie?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Outdoor work around Milngavie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
