How we handle window mastic in Mintlaw
The new joint does not have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and cold air getting in at the frame edge, on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and composite doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Mintlaw depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Mintlaw questions
Can you do window mastic in Mintlaw?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Mintlaw is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Mintlaw?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How we quote for window mastic
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Common problems we fix in Mintlaw
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
If you look after a building such as Mintlaw Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Frames and glazing around Mintlaw
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes 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.
Around Mintlaw, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We look for the cause first.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mintlaw
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In an older home around Mintlaw, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on how much there is to do. Around Mintlaw, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
